Russia should be suspended from OSCE, says Polish FM

Radosław Sikorski was speaking shortly after he walked out of a high-profile OSCE security meeting in Malta in protest at the presence of his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. “When you set up an organization in which consensus is needed for decisions, for it to work, they have to abide by same rules and the same values. And when, just like at the UN, a member with veto power breaks the rules by invading a neighboring country, the organization gets paralyzed,” Sikorski said. “So I personally believe that Russia should be suspended both in the OSCE and UN Security Council,” he added.
