Mustafa Dzhemilev, the leader of the Crimean Tatar people, spoke at the sixth summit of the International Crimea Platform in New York, arguing that stopping Russia's aggression against Ukraine through peaceful means is highly unlikely. Dzhemilev emphasized that Russia's war against Ukraine and its objectives necessitate a forceful response, which should be reflected in the summit's final document.
He recalled that the Kremlin had previously circulated gift boxes adorned with portraits of Russian President Vladimir Putin, including a quote claiming that "Russia's borders end nowhere."
However, Dzhemilev introduced an alternative perspective: "Russia's borders will end where it gets hit back." Ukraine, he argued, is not only defending its own territory but also the security of Europe as a whole. Dzhemilev stressed that Ukraine requires substantial international support to liberate the occupied territories and bring an end to the war as swiftly as possible. He called for the provision of adequate air defense systems to safeguard civilians from ongoing Russian assaults.
The International Crimea Platform's sixth summit is currently underway in New York during the high-level segment of the United Nations General Assembly. The discussions center around the situation in occupied Crimea, systematic human rights violations, the peninsula's militarization, and collaborative efforts towards its de-occupation.
