"Turkish election 'free but not fair', say international observers"

The #OSCE delivers its verdict on the presidential election in #Turkey. It reflects badly on all sides, not just the incumbent Sultan #Erdogan.

Several countries of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (#OSCE) have launched their own independent investigation into cases of abduction of Ukrainian children by #Russia.

"Decisive joint actions are needed to stop this practice of #genocide, return the #children to #Ukraine and bring the perpetrators to #justice," said the head of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba.

#Stupidquestions А вони ще у вас в #FATF, #OSCE, #Interpol-і, в радбезі та самій ООН? А що потрібно, щоби відбулися зміни і до злочинця почали ставитися, як до злочинця? Ота нєбєнзя повинна забігти в зал засідань Генасамблеї в поясі шахіда і з криком "за орду! за упиря!" підірвати себе, чи що?

During the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Vienna, Latvian MP Rihards Kols told the delegation of the Russian Federation to follow the Russian warship.

When the representative of the Russian Federation was speaking, other participants began to leave the room.

Ukraine refused to attend the session of the Parliamentary Assembly because of the Russian delegation's presence.

There are no subtitles, so here is the text of Kols' speech: We talk right now that we stand up to our principles and values and statutes. We don't! I mean, there's an elephant in this room which is called by name Russian Federation delegation. I mean, if I were a witness and somebody asked me, "Who is the war criminal?" Well, I will point to the back benches in this room. It's just a disgrace that this delegation is here, particularly the delegation that consists of members who are sanctioned individuals who voted to annex independent country's territories: Donbas, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia oblasts, Luhansk. Those are the principles this institution was vouched to protect and guard and we are sitting like nothing happened. You know, I will use this momentum (and apologies Mr Chair) I will convey a message to the Russian Federation delegation sitting in this room and I will quote the Ukrainian border guards, "Русский военный корабль, иди нахуй" (translation Russian warship, go fuck yourself)

Followed by some mumbled Russian while delegates walk out.

Latvian MP Rihards Kols swears at Russian delegates after they spoke during a meeting of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

There was also a mass walkout by delegates after the Russians spoke.

Intervention by Latvian MP
Rihards Kols at the #OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.

We sitting here comfortably in western Europe must understand how alarming this war is to our friends in the Baltics and the east. They came to the #EU not only to share prosperity, they are our family now.

Stand united. Stand with #Ukraine.

Ukrainians outraged as Russian lawmakers join Vienna talks

Austria is facing criticism for granting visas to six Russian lawmakers for talks with OSCE counterparts in Vienna. Ukraine and Lithuania have boycotted the two-day talks. DW reports from the scene.

#Austra hosting #OSCE should know better. I fully agree with #Ukraine statement delivered by #Slovak delegation there: “They are not here for genuine dialogue nor for cooperation,” it added. “They are here to spread their propaganda ... they are here to try and justify the war crimes they have committed and desecrate the principles of international law and human decency.” https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/zahranicni-rusove-prijeli-do-vidne-na-zasedani-obse-a-hned-bylo-veselo-40423818#dop_ab_variant=0&dop_source_zone_name=novinky.sznhpnative.box&dop_vert_ab=&dop_vert_id=&source=hp&seq_no=7

To the disgrace that is the presence of the #Russian delegation of sanctioned war criminals at the @oscepa, I can only repeat what #Ukrainian border guards so eloquently put nearly a year ago when addressing a particular Russian warship. #OSCEPA #OSCE
