Klimkin disappointed at PACE Bureau's declaration to lift sanctions imposed on Russian delegation
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has expressed disappointment with the declaration to lift sanctions to resume a dialog with Russia passed by the Bureau of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), the press service of Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has reported.
"I am very surprised with today's Declaration of the Bureau of the PACE. Declaring commitment to democracy and dialog, today this governing body of the Assembly put them under doubt by their decision," the press service said, citing Klimkin.
"The further concessions to the aggressor and occupant would be the worst signal for international society and they will mean that Russia, as any other country, from now on can freely and with impunity violate the fundamental principles of the Council of Europe," Klimkin said.
Russia has not observed the clear list of conditions set by PACE for lifting the sanctions.
