«Russia’s aggression against Ukraine began when President Putin invaded Crimea and tried to redraw Ukrainian borders by force in 2014,” – Antony Blinken, United States Secretary of State, reminded to all participants of the third Summit of the Crimean Platform.

«Russia orchestrated the shame referendum,» – Blinken recalled, and noted that after that journalists, activists, religious and political leaders of Crimea experienced repression and tortures. Since that time, the entire Ukrainian nation live with terrible losses and sufferings. At the same time, Ukrainians show the world an exceptional courage and extraordinary results of their struggle. The US Secretary of State once again confirmed the world’s support for Ukraine in its struggle for freedom, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. And he also congratulated Ukraine with tomorrow’s Independence Day. «Glory to Ukraine!» – summed up Antony Blinken.
