In connection with the Russian aggression against Ukraine PACE put forward initiatives - the deprivation Russia of the right to vote (Dane Michael Aastrup Jensen) and the termination of its mandate in the Assembly (Briton Robert Walter.)
Today the PACE Monitoring Committee will appoint a rapporteur who will prepare a report on the basis of which the adoption of sanctions is possible. In addition, a special debate on the situation in Ukraine, which is scheduled for Thursday, has been planned. The question on sanctions will be solved on the same day.
According to the head of the Russian delegation to the PACE, Alexander Pushkov, if it becomes clear that Russia will be deprived of power in PACE, then the delegation of the Russian Federation itself will announce its withdrawal from PACE. If the Russian delegation is deprived of voting rights, Russia will not resign.
