“This PACE broke down long ago.

The new one was never brought, ”he wrote on Twitter.

On January 25, at the opening of the winter session of the Assembly, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Maria Mezentseva, proposed to challenge the credentials of the Russian delegation.

After that, a vote was held: this idea was supported by 38 participants in the meeting, which turned out to be sufficient to transfer the issue to the PACE committee. 

On January 28, PACE deputies confirmed the credentials of the Russian delegation following a vote.
