Zelenskyi disappointed with PACE decision on Russia

Zelenskyi disappointed with PACE decision on Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has expressed disappointment with the decision of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) to confirm the rights of the Russian delegation.

Censor.NET reports citing Zelenskyi's post on Facebook.

"I am disappointed with the PACE’s decision to approve without limitation the rights of the delegation of the Russian Federation. Last week I personally discussed this issue with the French President and the Federal Chancellor of Germany. I tried to convince Mr. Macron and Mrs. Merkel that the return of the Russian delegation to the PACE is possible only after Russia will meet the Assembly’s fundamental requirements. It is a pity that our European partners did not hear us and acted in a different way," Zelenskyi wrote on his Facebook page on June 25.

He thanked the delegation of the Verkhovna Rada to the PACE and national delegations friendly to Ukraine for supporting the Ukrainian position on this issue.
