PACE intends to recognize Russia's actions against Ukraine as terrorist in resolution – MP
KYIV. Oct 13 (Interfax-Ukraine) – On Thursday, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will vote for a resolution in which Russia’s actions against Ukraine will be called terrorist, member of the permanent delegation of the Verkhovna Rada to PACE, MP Yevhenia Kravchuk (the Servant of the People faction) has said.
"Tomorrow, PACE will vote for an important resolution, in which for the first time the actions of Russia … will be called terrorist. And this will also help us in the international arena to introduce even more sanctions against Russia," Kravchuk said on the air of the unified national telethon on Wednesday evening.
She stressed that everyone in PACE was shocked by the actions of the Russian Federation in recent days, when it sent hundreds of missiles against peaceful Ukrainian citizens.
The MP also said that PACE would recommend speeding up the creation of the International Tribunal to investigate the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
"On Friday, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin will come here," Kravchuk said.
According to her, it is necessary that the Council of Europe or individual countries of the Council of Europe take the lead in creating this tribunal. She recalled that the PACE resolution on the establishment of the tribunal was supported unanimously.
"There was not a single country against it. And therefore, we can say about the very fact of political consent from the countries of the Council of Europe, and there are 46 of them now," Kravchuk emphasized.
