Crimean summit planned for the UN anniversary in New York

The fifth international summit of the Crimean Platform will be held on <b>September 24</b> at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

This was announced by Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga.

The event, which is being held on the 80th anniversary of the UN, aims to reaffirm the global commitment to the key principles of the Charter: sovereignty, territorial integrity and peace. According to Sibiga, the summit will also reaffirm the UN General Assembly's firm position on the observance of the Charter in the context of Russia's aggression and attempted annexation of Ukrainian territory. Since 2014, the Assembly has adopted more than twenty resolutions recognizing that Crimea is part of Ukraine.

Ukraine invites all peace-loving UN member states to join the summit to defend the UN Charter and contribute to the establishment of a just and lasting peace.

The previous summit of the Crimean Platform was held on September 11, 2024 in Kyiv. Back then, the foreign ministers of the United States and Britain, the president of Lithuania, the prime ministers of Latvia and Croatia, and other high-ranking officials came to participate in the meeting. The heads of other states and international institutions recorded video messages.

The Crimean prosecutor's office, along with investigators from the SBU, police, and the State Bureau of Investigation, served more than <b>50 citizens</b> with suspicions. According to the investigation, these people voluntarily sided with the occupiers during the annexation of the peninsula and helped them organize it.

Among the suspects are former Ukrainian judges and law enforcement officers, top officials of the occupation administrations, participants in illegal "elections," as well as those who transferred resources to the Russian army or spread propaganda.

The "servants of Themis" of the occupation courts decided to deport criminals who refused to receive Russian passports. The list of collaborators also includes former employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Border Guard Service, prosecutors and judges who betrayed the state. They are suspected of high treason, violation of the laws of war, collaboration, aiding and abetting the aggressor state and justifying Russian aggression.
