Several delegates from Western countries at the meeting in connection with the situation in Ukraine sharply attacked Russia and turned to unparliamentary speeches. For example, a Latvian MP who came to the meeting with a Ukrainian flag and spoke in an insulting tone against Russia stood out.
In response, the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Petr Tolstoy called on the offending members of the OSCE PA to leave the meeting of its committee . The head of the Russian delegation reminded that the representatives of our country at the meeting “are legitimately present.”
“We will not tolerate direct insults against Russia, our president,” said Tolstoy. “We will not allow the enemies of Russia to express it in this style,” Tolstoy said, suggesting that those “who want to offend” leave the hall “along with their Ukrainian flags.”
