Belarusian and Russian delegations in OSCE PA adopt joint statement

24 февраля 2023

A joint statement of the delegation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the delegation of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus at the 22nd Winter Meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has been adopted. This is reported by BelTA with reference to the press service of the upper house of parliament.

"We state that the collective West, in blatant contradiction to the original tasks of the OSCE as a platform for equal inter-parliamentary dialogue, seeks to monopolize it in order to promote a geopolitically biased view of the genesis and development of the Ukrainian tragedy. The special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces is designed to put an end to it," the statement said. - The entire population of Ukraine has become hostages of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, which has been nurtured by the Anglo-Saxons and their satellites and which they are constantly feeding with weapons, intelligence and other factors of military escalation. In order to save the lives of civilians, Russia was forced to use force to end the war unleashed against them by Western states, the root cause of which was the 2014 coup d'état instigated by key capitals of the North Atlantic alliance. Its consequence was the complete loss of state sovereignty to Ukraine and the inevitable return of the historical territories of Russia to its native bosom.

Now the Anglo-Saxon elites, being unable to give up their obsession with total domination in Europe and the world, are leading the way to a global catastrophe, the document stresses. "We expect that the political forces still remaining in the OSCE space, which have the necessary will, will not allow this to happen. At the same time, the Parliamentary Assembly and its governing bodies do not have the right not only to constantly demonstrate a biased approach, but also in general to carry out the total Ukrainianization of this platform. We demand that the atmosphere of hostility and confrontation ceased to build up. At the same time, we do not call on certain delegations, which have clearly demonstrated during the discussions the depth of the degradation of their political culture, to engage in self-education. We only want them to realize their responsibility for preserving the remaining channels of communication between the sides of the military-political confrontation, which is gaining momentum through no fault of our own," reads the statement.
