In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 1, insert the following sentences:
"In its Resolutions 2540 (2024) "Alexei Navalny’s death and the need to counter Vladimir Putin’s totalitarian regime and its war on democracy" and 2588 (2025) "European commitment to a just and lasting peace in Ukraine", the Assembly noted the ongoing forced russification, repression and discrimination of indigenous peoples and minorities in the Russian Federation, in breach of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. It concluded that genuine democracy in Russia is impossible without decolonisation, underlined that lasting peace requires the Russian Federation to abandon its imperial ambitions and called for the implementation of UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) (1960)."
Explanatory note
Reference to the previous PACE Resolutions mentioning indigenous peoples and minorities in the Russian Federation

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 3 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly reiterates its strong condemnation of the systematic repression of Russians opposing the regime and attempts to silence them, inside and outside the Russian Federation. It honours the commitment of those Russian human rights defenders, democratic forces, free media and independent civil society who oppose the totalitarian and neo-imperialistic Russian regime, fight for democracy, human rights and the rule of law and support Ukraine, sometimes at the risk of their lives and freedom, and emphasises that this fight must continue. The Assembly notes that unlike Belarusian democratic forces, Russian democratic forces do not have a single, unified political structure. The Assembly encourages Russian groups and initiatives in exile to join forces with the aim of countering disinformation by the totalitarian and neo-imperialistic Russian regime, advocating for a democratic change in the Russian Federation, exposing all international crimes committed by Russian actors in the Republic of Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine, and supporting Ukrainians in their struggle against the aggressor State, in a variety of ways."
Explanatory note
This amendment re-stresses the imperialistic nature of the Russian regime, and that since there are several Russian groups fighting for democracy it would be unfair to name just two of them making the text less clear. This amendment also states that the fight must continue.

"recognise and respect unconditionally the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Belarus, as well as the Belarusian nation's aspiration for a democratic future and European choice."
Explanatory note
The requirement to recognise Belarus's sovereignty and territorial integrity is consistent with the principles of the Council of Europe and mirrors the conditions already applied in relation to Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova and Georgia. It prevents any ambiguity in co-operation with the Russian democratic opposition and safeguards against narratives or initiatives that could undermine Belarus's independence, as well as the right of the Belarusian people to an independent and democratic future and geopolitical choice.
