This session is held under the sign of the evil eye, demands, blackmail, brainwashing about the necessity of returning of the Russian delegation,” she wrote.

Attempts to split the EPP group, which supported anti-Russian to the post of Emanuel Zingeris, but here joined during Cypriote Stella Kyriakides who had not spoken about the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation, has no position, and a lot of the PACE delegates vote for the President no position on Russia, because it is convenient,” – said Gerashchenko.

He stated this on the sidelines of the PACE fall session in the commentary, which was broadcast channel Newsone.

After losing such important pillars of Russian propaganda in this hall Mr. (Pedro) Agramunt now there will be new heroes that will try make up for something, to grab something… We know, so we can easily oppose it,” said Logvinsky.

In his opinion, Zeman ”humiliated in the first place itself”, saying that the annexation of Crimea is ”completed.” Legwinski believes that the words of Zeman needs to be rephrased to appeal to the international community to arrest the Russian assets and to increase pressure on Russia.

”I probably would have treated right the call of the President of the Czech Republic in order to arrest the Russian assets, select their property and return it to those people who really have lost it, and suffered”, – said the MP.

”I think that Mr. Zeman just confused the words. It is not just about some kind of payment, but rather, he wanted to say that we are talking about compensation and reparation, that is, every day Russia pumps our gas, every day Russia in our territory earns the money,” he said.

You need to find all the possibilities to ensure that the money stolen from our country back,” – said Logvinsky.

Ohryzko noted that the Czech government, which determines the basic line of the country’s foreign policy, its consistent position regarding support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

“To the realities of his (Zeman) statements are irrelevant, especially because the Czech government that understands what the international law is and what to break, and is a perfectly adequate position and disavowed many times, I think it will be this time, the so-called “statements” of the President of the Czech Republic,” added the former Minister.

Political Analyst Volodymyr Tsybulko Espresso.TV reported that President miloš Zeman suffers from alcohol dependence and a political outcast.
