PACE speaker says Russia is on the way out of the assembly

PARIS, 15 March 2022, (TON): Speaker of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Tiny Cox claims that the Russian Federation is on the way out of the assembly, as it did not react to the decision to suspend its powers.

Cox said “by violating the Ukrainian border, Russia crossed the red line of our organization.”

“Russia is on its way out of the organization because it did not react in any way to the decision to suspend the powers of its delegation.”

According to the speaker “Russia has not sent any statements about its withdrawal from PACE yet”.

At the same time, Cox recalled that, in accordance with the decision adopted in 2019, membership in the Council of Europe is two-stage.
