The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has again called on Russia to stop military aggression in eastern Ukraine and recognized the Russian Federation as a party to the Minsk agreements.
This is stated in a resolution on the progress of the Assembly's monitoring procedure, which was adopted during the PACE winter session on January 30, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"The Assembly urges the Russian Federation to fully implement the Minsk agreements, to which the Russian Federation is a party, and to end its military intervention in and support for illegally armed formations in Eastern Ukraine," the document reads.

PACE also urged the Russian authorities to implement a series of concrete measures aimed at addressing the concerns with regard to the continuing deterioration of human rights and the rule of law; to remove any legal obstacles to the unconditional execution of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights; to unconditionally and fully co-operate with the joint investigation team and the Dutch prosecution service in bringing these responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 17 to justice; to take effective measures aimed at preventing violations of the human rights of LGBTI persons, in particular in the Chechen Republic; to co-operate fully with the international community in the investigation of the murder of Mr Boris Nemtsov.

The resolution demands that Russia reverse its illegal annexation of Crimea as required by the Assembly.

At the same time, the Assembly expresses its concern about the military aggression in Eastern Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reported, a winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is held in Strasbourg on January 27-3.
