The Fourth Crimea Platform Summit: Tamila Tasheva, Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

“The battle for the Black Sea continues. As well as the battle for Crimea”, Tamila Tasheva,  Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The Permanent Representative Tamila Tasheva emphasized that Crimea, like the whole of Ukraine, has become a symbol of resistance, and Ukraine and its defenders have demonstrated the ability to defend their land even in the most difficult conditions. 

“However, we must remember the hundreds of other people we have not yet released who are suffering both in the occupied territories and in Russia. More than 219 of our citizens from Crimea are still illegally detained,” Tamila Tasheva, Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, emphasized.

She noted that since the full-scale invasion, more than 1000 Ukrainian citizens have been persecuted for opposing the occupation and war, for supporting Ukraine, Ukrainian national symbols, and pro-Ukrainian stance.

“They are being persecuted just because they want to live in a free Ukraine. We must support them,” Tamila Tasheva, Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The Permanent Representative also emphasized Ukraine’s concrete steps on the way to and after the deoccupation of the peninsula, in particular the decisions to restore public authorities in Crimea, the administrative-territorial structure, steps on education, memory policy and the rights of the Indigenous People of Ukraine.
