The Committee prepared the Opinion of the Parliamentary Assembly, adopted unanimously on 15 March 2022, which led to the expulsion of the Russian Federation from the Council of Europe, as decided by the Committee of Ministers the following day. Since then, the Committee has continued to examine the unfolding Russian aggression against Ukraine, with an emphasis on its political consequences.
