Russia should be given back their seats
in the Council of Europe.
Russia knows what it needs to do then. It needs to come back into full compliance with the statutes of the Council of Europe.
That would include (but not limited to):
Accept the principles of the rule of law (i.e. don't launch illegal invasions of your neighbours, and don't conduct sham elections).
According full human rights and fundamental freedoms to all persons within its jurisdiction (i.e don't have state enforced discrimination against certain groups).
Collaborate sincerely and effectively in the realisation of the aim of the Council (i.e. don't start a frenching land war in continental Europe).
If Russia wants to be in a club, it needs to play by the rules of that club. Otherwise it gets excluded. It's RUSSIA'S fault it got kicked out.
