MFA: Nancy Pelosi to attend Parliamentary Summit of Crimea Platform

"The list of participants is updated literally every day. And I can already open the curtain a little. Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi will be among the participants. Her participation directly confirms that the issue of the de-occupation of Crimea is high on the agenda in Washington," First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Emine Dzheppar posted on Facebook.

Moreover, the representatives of all G7 countries will also be present at the events online or offline.

Dzheppar emphasized that a powerful final statement was being prepared together with all the participants in line with the current realities. In particular, the summit participants will condemn Russia's attempts to illegally annex Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions.

Another important element will be the meeting of the Crimea Platform Expert Network.

"In this way, we completed the architecture of the Crimea Platform which will now fully function at the governmental, parliamentary, and expert levels. Thanks to the leadership of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, the Crimea Platform now unites 60 countries and international organizations around the Ukrainian national interest – the complete de-occupation of the peninsula," the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine concluded.

As reported, Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Olena Kondratiuk announced the participation of more than 40 parliamentary delegations and five parliaments in the First Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform.
