During her visit to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili avoided answering a question about new sanctions against Russia, - Ukrainian Evropeiskaya Pravda reports.

“Zourabichvili had 60 minutes to deliver a speech and speak with lawmakers. As a rule, foreign leaders spend most of their time answering questions. Contrary to this tradition, Zourabichvili spoke for 50 minutes and left minimal time for questions and she did not answer a question about Russia's punishment," Evropeiskaya Pravda says.

According to the outlet, a representative of the Ukrainian delegation, Alexei Goncharenko, asked Zurabishvili to explain whether official Tbilisi would support the idea of ​​imposing new sanctions on Russia.

The Georgian leader declined to make substantive comments and noted that "Russia does not fulfill its obligations. The problem is that the larger the state, the less attention it receives within monitoring procedures. "

The outlet also notes that while addressing the Parliamentary Assembly, Foreign Minister Davit Zalkaliani also avoided mentioning Russia's punishment for its aggression in Georgia and Ukraine.
