According to him, today more and more European politicians support Russia’s position on Ukraine.
“We constantly raise the issue there about the tragedy in Odessa, about what is happening in the East of Ukraine, about the bombing of residential areas, about refugees,” he said.
Pushkov noted that in PACE “64 deputies, that’s about 30%, voted not to apply sanctions to us.”
“In April, when we were deprived of the right to vote for the first time, only 20 people spoke out for us. That is, we are still promoting this agenda, and there is now much more skepticism towards Ukraine, they are believed much less,” Pushkov noted.
