The Permanent Council of the OAS, by 25 votes in favor with eight abstentions, deprived the Russian Federation of the status of a permanent observer in the organization because of the special operation it is conducting in Ukraine. «The organization of American states is an anachronistic instance that lost, if ever had, connection with reality, she is completely lost or relevance.
