President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree on measures to develop and support the Crimean Tatar language, culture, and protection of the rights of residents of the occupied Crimea peninsula.
“Today, I have signed a decree on certain measures aimed at de-occupation and reintegration of the Crimean peninsula, in particular, the government is entrusted with organizing and launching the Crimean platform, as well as measures to develop and support the Crimean Tatar language, culture and protect the rights of residents of the annexed Crimea,” Zelensky said in a video message before the start of the telethon devoted to the Day of Resistance to the Occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on Feb. 26.
He said that he believes that the day will come when he will be able to cancel his own decree simply because it will lose its relevance and Crimea will return to Ukraine.
“We will preserve the memory of everyone who was not afraid to say on Feb. 26, 2014:’Crimea is Ukraine,’ and we will do everything to ensure that this thesis never raises doubts,” the president stressed.
