Russia has shown a flagrant disregard for the principles of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and for the commitments it has made through the organisation. However, continued Russian participation at the OSCE gives us the opportunity to call it out for its behaviour and encourage others to do the same. It also provides a channel for crisis communication, and keeps open a space for diplomacy.
