    Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on the situation in the Council of Europe


    471-10-03-2022


    The states of the EU and NATO , unfriendly to Russia, abusing their absolute majority in the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (CMCE), continue the policy of destroying the Council of Europe and the common humanitarian and legal space in Europe.
    The course of events becomes irreversible. Russia does not intend to put up with these subversive actions carried out by the collective West in line with the imposition of a “rules-based order” to replace international law trampled by the United States and its satellites. Russia will not participate in the transformation by NATO and the EU obediently following them of the oldest European organization into another platform for incantations about Western superiority and narcissism. Let them enjoy communicating with each other, without Russia.
