“Senya, PACE is not relevant!”
Russia is no longer interested in being a member of PACE in conditions when the West takes the side of the Ukrainian nationalist regime and maintains sanctions against the Russian delegation, introduced in 2014 in response to the events in Crimea.
Political scientist Grigory Trofimchuk stated this in the studio of the Russia-1 channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“So. Who needs whom: PACE Russia or Russia PACE? PACE is no longer relevant for Russia. For some reason, we forget that literally these days a meeting of speakers of the Eurasian Parliament is being held in Antalya, Turkey. This is already the third meeting. More than 40 countries are taking part there, the number of participants is already approaching almost 50. Russia is gradually, and this is an initiative of the Russian Federation, its interests extend to the whole of Europe. They leave this site in PACE. Remember the popular Soviet film, where one character says to another: “Senya, about hares - this is not relevant.” So, if we paraphrase him, then “Senya, PACE is not relevant,” he said.
As a reminder, yesterday, the Ukrainian delegation engaged in scandalous behavior during a PACE meeting – delegates began shouting fascist slogans.
Furthermore, former Right Sector speaker and Verkhovna Rada deputy Boryslav Bereza threw a microphone from the Russia-1 television channel while recording an interview on the sidelines of a PACE meeting, and deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko donned rubber gloves for protection while speaking with Russian journalists.
