Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba welcomes a decision taken by the Council of Ministers to immediately expel Russia from the Council of Europe.

"I welcome the decision to immediately exclude Russia from the Council of Europe just taken by the Council of Ministers. No place for Russia in European bodies as it wages a barbaric war of aggression against Ukraine and commits multiple war crimes," he wrote on Twitter.
