“If they want to play the role of an inquisitor, let them play it themselves. At the moment we are contemplating whether we still want to be a part of PACE,” said Aleksey Pushkov, who heads Russia’s delegation to the assembly.
According to Pushkov, Russia will make a final decision on whether it will continue to be a member of the organization following the vote.
“We have friends and partners – people who feel for us and understand the deep self-righteous and fictitious manner of this discussion. We do not want to leave them because they believe it’s important that Russia stays in PACE,” he said.
Pushkov also commented on his Twitter page:
The Ukrainian delegation are firing national hatred declaring to PACE that “The Russian people will feed you and then cut you up.” And then applause in the auditorium! This is a sham!
Robert Walter, a British member of the assembly, filed a motion to take away Russia’s voting rights at PACE, due to their actions in Crimea. He also wants to ask Russia to send an delegation of observers to each session.
