The permanent PABSEC committee held a meeting on June 8.

After the meeting, Head of the Permanent delegation of the Verkhovna Rada to the PABSEC Liudmyla Denisova said that Ukraine had opposed approval  of a mandate for new member representing Russian delegation in the PABSEC — State Duma (Russian Parliament) deputy and curator of Crimea Roman Khudiakov. She said that on April 10, 2015, Khudiakov was the one to offer sending Russian militaries to Ukraine due to alleged threat to security of Russia.

Denisova also said that approval of new members for the Permanent committee is provided via consensus voting.

"Taking in account the fact that Ukraine voted against, no decision on Khudiakov has been taken," the head of the Ukrainian delegation said.
