Details: As it was reported, on Thursday, Ukrainian deputy Alexander Merezhko announced censorship by the PACE Secretariat, which forbade to consider a proposal of a decision, where Putin was called a “terrorist”. It is a resolution “Europe’s obligations to just and sustainable peace in Ukraine”, which was submitted to the PACE on Thursday.

The initial text of the amendment suggested that “Vladimir Putin is a terrorist, under the guidance of which numerous acts of terror against civilians were committed.”

Against the backdrop of the scandal, which became public, the Assembly agreed to register if the Ukrainian deputies agree to remove the word “terrorist” in relation to the Russian ruler from the text. Network and other co -authors agreed.

In order to consider the corrected amendment, the Assembly was forced to move away from its own procedures and amended the vote without its consideration in the Committee.

The following wording was made to the hall to vote: “Parasey acknowledges that Vladimir Putin must be held accountable for numerous acts of terror committed against civilians during his reign.”

77 deputies voted, against – 1 (Belgian socialist Christoph Lacroa), 6 abstained.

Recall:

• It was reported that on Thursday PACE approved a resolution on peace talks on Ukraine, which also included this amendment.
• The main issue at the session was the confirmation of the powers of the Georgian delegation. Explain what happened, see the video from Strasbourg “The Punishment of Georgia in the PACE: what sanctions have imposed and whether there will be new elections.”
