30.Merezhko and other co-authors, including five Ukrainian representatives and Swedish MP Markus Wiechel, proposed the amendment as part of PACE's resolution on "Europe's Commitment to a Just and Lasting Peace in Ukraine," European Pravda reported earlier the same day.Following the public outcry, PACE included a mention of Putin in the published resolution but without labeling him a terrorist.The resulting document refers to "Vladimir Putin's totalitarian regime and its war on democracy, as well as the necessity to counter the erasure of cultural identity in war and peace; it believes that a lasting peace is only possible if the Russian Federation abandons its imperial ambitions and performs decolonization."PACE's table office explained its initial decision to reject the amendment in full by saying that "calling Putin a terrorist is against the rule of procedure because it 'insults his dignity,'"Merezhko told the Kyiv Independent.
