The International Crimea Platform was launched in the summer of 2021 on the initiative of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine with the purpose of uniting and coordinating national and international efforts to de-occupy the Crimean Peninsula.

This year, the Summit of the Crimea Platform at the level of parliament speakers will be held for the second time.

The parliamentary dimension aims to consolidate international efforts on assistance to Ukraine and support in the restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity, to draw attention to the issue of illegal occupation of Crimea and ways of de-occupation of the entire territory of Ukraine. An important aspect is the support of European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine and the involvement of countries in support of the Ukrainian Peace Formula.
