Our main goal at OSCE is to exclude Russians – MP Iryna Herashchenko

She said this on Espreso TV. 

“Now the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly is taking place in the former residence of the Austrian emperors. From the balcony of this very building, Hitler announced the annexation of Austria, and it is an absolute disgrace on the anniversary of the full-scale offensive to have six State Duma deputies, Russian war criminals, in this building. It is obvious that the Ukrainian delegation is blocking the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. We are not alone, the Ukrainian delegation is holding a parallel assembly, and right now we are meeting with the US delegation. We have also already had bilateral meetings with the delegations of Canada, Poland, and the Czech Republic – about 20 meetings. And our main goal is to exclude the Russians from the Parliamentary Assembly and from the OSCE, because they violate all possible principles of this organization,” the Ukrainian lawmaker emphasized.

Iryna Herashchenko added that today in Vienna, the Ukrainian community and activists organized a rally near the location where the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly is meeting, and the Russian delegation entered the building like rats from the back door.

“Our task is to make sure that this departure of Russians to Austria is the last departure of these sanctioned persons to Europe. The next departure may be to The Hague or Nuremberg, where an international tribunal against these war criminals should be established,” Herashchenko emphasized.
