Crimean Platform summit to be held in May 2021 – Kuleba

The Crimean Platform summit will take place in Kyiv in May 2021, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.

“Today I can officially announce that the decision has been finally made that the summit of the Crimean Platform will take place in May 2021. We very much hope that by that time the situation with the pandemic will stabilize and we will be able to successfully hold this summit in the capital of Ukraine," Kuleba said at an online briefing on Thursday, November 5, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

He said that the initiative to create the Crimean Platform is dynamically developing.

“We conduct active consultations with partners, inform them about the content and format of the platform, how it will work. We receive positive feedback from our partners and their readiness to work on our proposal,” the diplomat assured.

As reported, on September 23, President Volodymyr Zelensky presented the concept of the international Crimean Platform to the UN and invited international partners to join the initiative for de-occupation of Crimea. During the Ukraine-EU Summit on October 6, the European Union confirmed its readiness for such an initiative. Ukraine is coordinating this issue at the level of national governments of EU states.
