Ukraine will return all the temporarily occupied territories under its control and its people from captivity. And Ukraine is working by all means to ensure that this war ends in the defeat of the Russian occupiers.
This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskiy in his evening video address following the 608th day of the full-scale war.
-And I would like to say a special word to all our people in Crimea, Sevastopol, all the occupied areas of the South and East of our country. In the still occupied areas. Dear Ukrainians! You all feel that the Russian presence on our land is not forever. I know this,” the head of state said.
Another summit of the Crimean Platform, its parliamentary dimension, has taken place. The first such summit was held last year in Croatia, and now the second is in the Czech Republic.
A powerful declaration of the summit is support for Ukraine, its territorial integrity and sovereignty, the need to liberate all land from the occupiers, and all Ukrainians from Russian captivity. Support for the Peace Formula, a clear voice for increasing pressure on Russia and the kind of assistance Ukraine needs to win this war, the president said.
Zelenskiy addressed the summit participants and outlined Ukraine’s tactics regarding the Black Sea region and Crimea. “Despite many doubts that various global actors had and all the difficulties, Ukraine has proven that it is capable of winning in the Black Sea region.
This is a truly historic achievement when the Russian fleet is fleeing not only the western part of the sea, but even Crimea. But this will not make sense for the occupiers, he believes.
