On October 9 at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Russia suffered yet another loss, albeit one that did not get major headlines in this country. A Euromaidan Press headline read: “Russia loses battle for PACE: resolution allowing sanctions to be lifted fails vote.” Furthermore, an analysis by Yevropeiska Pravda (an information resource devoted to Ukraine’s international security and euro-integration) underscored that – for the first time ever – PACE delegates had begun to discuss whether Russia even has a place in that European body.
