On Tuesday, May, 17, it was reported that Russia’s Foreign Ministry had sent proposals to State Duma on Russia’s withdrawal from WTO and WHO. “Exit from the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) will be considered among other organisations,” said Russia’s State Duma deputy speaker Pyotr Tolstoy, as reported by Russian news agency Kommersant.
He said all the proposals would be analysed jointly with the Federation Council. According to Tolstoy, it is necessary to review the treaties, “which do not bring benefits but direct harm” to the country.
