Russia has suspended work in the PACE for a year following the adoption of a resolution depriving the Russian delegation of its voting rights in the organization until the April session.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted on Wednesday a resolution depriving the Russian delegation of its voting rights in the organization until at least the April session.
The resolution stresses that the revision of the decision and other sanctions against Russia could be held during opening meetings of the April session if Moscow demonstrates substantial progress in meeting the PACE demands over Russia's alleged role in the Ukrainian crisis, including the protection of rights of the Crimean Tartars.
In response to the PACE’s decision, the head of the Russian delegation Alexei Pushkov said that Russia is suspending its work in PACE until the end of the year. "We are leaving PACE until the end of the year," Alexei Pushkov said.

Full Title: PACE strips Russia of voting rights until April over Ukraine, Russia quits for 1 year
The Council of Europe is demanding the Russians release the captured female pilot, Sevechenko, that was captured when she was shot down after an Air Strike that killed some Russian Journos.
Long after she was a Prisoner, she was "Elected" to the Rada, and then appointed to the Council of Europe as a rep from Ukraine.
Ukraine wants her released based on DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.
Stories differ, but the Russians claim she was detained after she illegally entered the territory of Russia without documents under the guise of a refugee.
Stories differ about whether her airstrike killed the journos in the first place, and it was merely the excuse the Russians used to extradite her.
She entered Russia without papers??? You don’t say.
Should the Russians that entered Ukraine without papers leave?
Because that would be great.
Hey, Mexicans, etc. enter the US ‘without papers’ so why can’t Russia do the same to some sovereign country in Europe?
Putin’s just imitating Obama, or it is vice-versa? Reds of a feather support invading illegals together.
More isolation and sanctions on Russia ... good let them die in their own shite, scum of the earth. They wanted to take on the world and now they are self destructing .. bye bye russkies!
