Crimea Liberation And Russian Troop Withdrawal Key To Global Security — Crimean Platform Summit

The sixth summit of the International Crimea Platform took place in New York, with participants adopting a joint statement demanding the de-occupation of Crimea and other Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia. This de-occupation was deemed essential for restoring global security, according to UATV English. The statement outlined several key demands and priorities.

The participants reaffirmed their stance against Russia's attempted annexations and emphasized the non-recognition of these territorial seizures. They pointed out that forceful territorial gains, fraudulent elections, and attempts to change the demographic makeup of occupied areas carry no legal validity. They also asserted that Crimea remains an integral part of Ukraine.

The statement called for increased sanctions against Russia and the return of prisoners of war and Ukrainian children who were unlawfully transferred or deported. Participants supported the establishment of accountability for Russia's aggression, including the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression, the International Criminal Court, and a mechanism to compensate for damage caused by Russia's actions using Russian resources.

Another priority highlighted in the statement concerned ensuring the safety and freedom of navigation in the Black Sea and other waterways affected by Russia's aggression.
