The ministry sent the Duma a list of Russia's agreements with international organizations for possible termination. Withdrawal from the WTO and WHO will also be considered, State Duma Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy said. According to him, all proposals will be considered by parliament members together with senators.
According to Tolstoy, it is necessary to reevaluate all agreements that “bring no benefit, but directly harm.”
“Russia has withdrawn from the Council of Europe. “Now is the time to leave the WTO and WHO which ignore all obligations towards our country,” he stressed.
Russia's attitude has changed. Ukraine's entry into the European Union would also be an issue
Kommersant reminded that in response to Russia's military operation in Ukraine, which is the Kremlin's official term for the invasion that President Vladimir Putin ordered on February 24, the West began imposing sanctions on Russia.
Russian authorities believe that these sanctions destroy the WTO rules system. A total of 14 members of this organization have deprived Russia of the regime's greatest benefits.
In March, a draft law on Russia's withdrawal from the WTO was submitted to the State Duma, but the deputies have not yet taken a decision. Ukraine also started a debate over closing the WHO office in Moscow. A resolution to this effect was adopted by the organization's European Committee on 10 May.
