There will be no representative of Russia at this year's Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Ministerial Council, which will be held in Lodz, Poland, in early December, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba announced on Facebook on Nov. 28.
"The OSCE Ministerial Council will be held for the first time without a representative of Russia, without a Russian minister," he said.
“And rightly so. He has no business to do there.”
Kuleba added that Russian representatives only feign diplomacy and negotiations, but in reality, they have made their choice.
"This choice is war and war crimes,” he declared.
Against the backdrop of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and mass war crimes, the international community is increasingly distancing itself from the Kremlin regime, confining Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and his representatives to international isolation.
