The Assembly is expected to first hear a report on the issue and then adopt a resolution.
A PACE resolution in April 2014 deprived the Russian delegation of its voting rights, after Crimea became a part of Russia.

The decision also means Russia's credentials cannot be challenged in the body, which had previously imposed sanctions on the work of the Moscow delegates.
