Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation (Elected in a single mandate electoral district № 164 – Saratov district, Saratov Oblast)
told journalists. He added that the meeting would be held at the State Duma.
“The sanctions [against Russia] are taken unjustifiably, without discussions. So there is a question, do we really need PACE in that situation? We will discuss this issue and many other issues,” he said and noted the importance of a dialogue.
According to the Chairman of the State Duma, there are many politicians in parliamentary structures “who understand that not only Russian economy is affected by sanctions, but restrictive measures primarily affect the economies of European states.”
