The fourth international forum entitled “The Occupied Peninsula: Four Years of Resistance” will take place in Kyiv on February 26, Ukraine’s First Deputy Information Policy Minister Emine Dzhaparova has said.
“The issues to be discussed at the forum include the current situation in Crimea and what Ukraine should do to free the Kremlin’s political prisoners,” she said at a press conference in Kyiv on February 20.
Dzhaparova expressed hope that such events would help create an effective platform at the level of the leaders of states that are friends of Ukraine for de-occupation of the Crimean peninsula.
“The position is expressed today that there is Donbas and there is a political format on Donbas reintegration – these are the Minsk, Normandy formats, while the issue of Crimea is raised periodically, from time to time, after another raid, detention or arrest of people. We believe that the key issue is the formalization of the platform at the level the leaders of states that are friends of Ukraine and support the subject of the liberation of Crimea,” she said.
According to her, a 40-minute film “The Kremlin’s Prisoners” was shot in the Ukrainian language and dubbed in Arabic, Turkish and English, and a video clip and a brochure with the same name in German, English, French and Turkish were prepared for the fourth anniversary of the struggle for Crimea’s return.
“The video will be distributed among Ukraine’s embassies abroad,” Dzhaparova said.
