The victory of Kiev over Moscow was called by the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Pavel Klimkin, the decision of the euro-deputies not to return the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. And this question, to the delight of the Ukrainian leadership, has been pushed far ahead.. "When I spoke with our delegation, said:" In war, as in war. We must win". In this case, who tells me that there are such rules or other rules, there is a procedure ... I think that for us this is definitely a victory ... because this issue (return of the delegation of the Russian Federation to PACE - ed.. ) moved to a distant future ", - quotes Klimkin's quotes RIA Novosti on Wednesday, October 17. The minister also responded to the incident with the journalists of "Russia 1" in the corridors of the assembly, which occurred on October 9, when the organization tried to discuss the draft document on the credentials of delegations. Then, we recall, the Ukrainians in a friendly crowd attacked the reporter Olga Skabayeva, surrounding her, sang a hymn, poked her face with a trident, and one of the parliamentarians in the session hall gave a demonstration with rubber gloves. It goes without saying that the Foreign Minister defended the Ukrainian delegation, noting that she had the right to react so emotionally. "Parliamentarians can afford it. How - this is of course a question for them..

But all that gives us victory must be applied, "- said Mr. Klimkin. On the possible consequences for the Kiev delegation, he said that the ministry would explain to each member of the PACE, "that emotions are emotions, and rules are rules". According to him, citizens of Square are “civilized people” who always adhere to the rules. On the eve of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that our country will not give the Council of Europe any joy to exclude it from the union, and will leave.
