Leonid Slutsky, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Relations, telegraph channelHe said the statement by the Ukrainian side of its intention to boycott the work of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (PA) as long as Russia participates shows Kiev’s reluctance to engage in dialogue with Moscow.
Slutsky noted that such rhetoric of the Kyiv authorities is “further proof that they do not need any dialogue, all the talk about the negotiations is nothing but fiction.”
According to Slutsky, Ukraine is trying to speak to everyone in the language of an ultimatum and is “not afraid to dictate” its terms to the OSCE.
