"We support the final Minsk declaration, however, we will be not be voting in favor of wording in the annexed resolution on restoring the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Ukraine. We oppose them. I think the wording referring to the annexation of Crimea is not unacceptable, also the tone of their paragraphs are completely unacceptable to us. Aside from that, we are grateful to our colleagues and we support all other paragraphs and are prepared to work on those," Pyotr Tolstoy said.
The lawmaker added that a decision to vote for the declaration as a package of measures was against any logic and parliamentary ideas.
The 26th Annual Session of the OSCE PA closed in Minsk, Belarus, on Sunday with the adoption of the 2017 Minsk Declaration focusing on security, migration and human rights issues.
