According to him, a positive result of the vote can be expected, despite the active opposition of the delegations of Ukraine and a number of Baltic countries.

The final decision on the formation of the delegation of the Russian Federation and the application for participation in the June session should be made by the leadership of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation,” he concluded.
