Russia responded by boycotting the assembly, and since 2017 refused to pay its €33 mln (7%) share of the annual budget until all sanctions will be lifted.
In June 2019, two years will have passed since Russia stopped paying its financial contributions, and, according to PACE rules, 2 years of non-payment automatically terminates country’s membership in PACE.
PACE had to either kick Russia out according to assembly’s rules, or to capitulate before Russia changing its rules and dropping all sanctions on Russia.
On June 25, 2019, PACE capitulated and Russia returned back to PACE.
PACE sold Ukraine for €33 mln.
