The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has adopted a resolution that recognizes Russia’s actions in Ukraine as genocide seeking to wipe out the Ukrainian people.

A Ukrainian delegate Pavlo Frolov announced this on Telegram.

“On the opening day of the summer session in Bucharest, the OSCE PA adopted a resolution condemning Russia’s 10-year armed aggression against Ukraine, which recognized the actions of the military and political leadership of the Russian Federation and its armed forces during the full-scale invasion as genocide of the Ukrainian people,” Frolov wrote.

He added that the 70-point resolution urges 53 OSCE member states to take measures to de-occupy Crimea and all occupied territories of Ukraine by supporting the Peace Formula and the Crimean Platform. Also, establishing a Special Tribunal to prosecute the Russian Federation for crimes committed during the war against Ukraine and conducting necessary international and national investigations are mentioned.

The document reiterated that the 2024 presidential elections in Russia were fraudulent, and Putin is a self-proclaimed dictator.

According to the Free Nations League, the Bucharest resolution is a real ‘breakthrough’ in the decolonization of the Russian Federation and manifests that it’s crucial for the long-standing peace in the entire Europe.

“The resolution has historical significance. The OSCE directly emphasizes for the first time that the Russian Federation is pursuing a conscious policy of oppressing the rights of indigenous peoples. It is carrying out their Russification and colonization. It emphasizes that the Russian Federation is sending representatives of enslaved peoples to its war of aggression against Ukraine. It is worth noting separately that the OSCE clearly indicates that the condition of sustainable peace in Europe is the ‘decolonization of the Russian Federation’,” Dorzho Dugarov, an Advisor of the Free Nations League on International Affairs, pointed out.
