“It should be recalled that the PACE resolutions are not binding, but only recommendatory. Therefore, their importance is usually overestimated. And, first of all, by our Ukrainian “partners”, who immediately understand any international solution with the word Ukraine to be a shield, demanding fulfillment, ”he said.

The expert also drew attention to the fact that the PACE hopes to improve relations with Moscow, because the organization “is unprofitable to further support the anti-Russian Ukrainian vector.”

“As for the situation itself, it is obvious that the relations between Russia and the PACE are in a very minor phase, which worries the Assembly more than Russia. After all, PACE was left without Russian funding, which is very unpleasant for her, ”said Asafov.

Earlier, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution on the situation in the Kerch Strait.
