In a message on her Facebook page, the group’s mission is “to continue the policy of not recognizing the annexation of Crimea, condemning Russia's occupation of Crimea, parts of eastern Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova”.
“Our first step is to abandon the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the organization, which has lost its authority in the eyes of millions of citizens of member states,” Yasko wrote.
The goal of Baltic Plus is “to carry out systematic work to restore confidence in PACE”, which, according to the members of the group, was undermined by the restoration of the rights of the Russian delegation.
According to the deputy, the first consultations were held in Strasbourg, and the next meeting will be held in Kiev.
Earlier, Yasko said that she considers it wrong to refuse to communicate with the Russians.
The Ukrainian delegation does not officially participate in the autumn session of PACE in protest against the return of Russia. However, several members of the delegation came for informal work and consultations.
Crimea became the Russian region after the referendum of 2014, in which the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula called for reunification with Russia.
