Ukrainian delegation will boycott OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Vienna because of participation of Russians
The delegation of the Verkhovna Rada will not take part in the winter session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, which will be held on February 23-24 in Vienna, as a sign of protest against the admission of representatives of Russia.
As Censor.NET reports with reference to "European Pravda", a member of the delegation, member of the People's Deputy from "Servant of the People" Yevheny Kravchuk announced this on the air of the telethon on Sunday.
"We will not take part in the official events of the Parliamentary Assembly, none. But we are going to Vienna for negotiations with our partners on what to do, how to get the OSCE and at least the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly out of this crisis," she noted.
According to the MP, the situation "when one or two countries can block all decisions is actually a dead end for any international organization where such a rule applies." "That is why we are working together with our partners on the reform of the OSCE PA," Kravchuk added.
She noted that the Russian delegation at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly includes more than 60 people - not only deputies, and "there are a whole bunch, we understand, just special services, propagandists who will come to use the meeting as decoration."
"We, together with our Ukrainian community, are working on protests near the territory of the Hofburg, where this will take place, so that this does not become the norm. But we ourselves will not be at the meetings," she emphasized.
Earlier, Ukraine opposed the presence of the Russian delegation at the official meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and offered to postpone the meeting.
