The Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) accused Russia of an imperial and colonial character, which manifests itself, among other things, in the soft annexation of Belarus. The corresponding statement was made in the final declaration of the 30th annual session of the meeting in Vancouver, Canada.
The OSCE PA in the first paragraph of the declaration stated about the shameful role of Belarus as a co-aggressor of Russia in the events in Ukraine, and also expressed concern about the announcement regarding the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus. Minsk was also accused of the practice of instrumentalizing illegal migration as a hybrid tool against neighboring countries.
