My colleague Sashko Shevchenko should join our broadcast at this moment, we are waiting to connect with him, there is sashko, congratulations to sashko, in fact, this is how the crimean platform completed its First Official day, and this is already the second day, in fact, yesterday was, taking into account the fact that before that there were still dinners at the representatives, please outline the main messages that sounded during this the summit, congratulations oleg, so there was a lot of talk, as you already mentioned, that crimea is ukraine , of course, and indeed in this final declaration they mentioned what they called on, the parliaments of the participating countries to recognize and recognize the actions of russia in crimea as genocide of the Crimean Tatars, they already talked about it in those, lets say, in full voice, they didnt come, ruslan stefanchuk, in particular, said that one of the achievements of this summit is that the participating countries started talking not about aid to ukraine, so much as long as it takes, what we are used to hearing already are ready to help ukraine precisely for the victory of ukraine, it was really clearly articulated, this was said, in particular, by the cohost of this summit, the speaker of the lower house of the czech parliament, Marketa Pekarova adamova, and actually, let me remind you that this was the second. Parliamentary summit, the first was held in zagreb, now in prague, and concluding the discussion, Ruslan Stepanchuk said that there will be a third summit and he hopes that it will be in crimea, well , these are the statements that soon crimea can be liberated and come back under control of kyiv, were also repeated, in particular, the minister of Foreign Affairs of the czech republic, jan lipavsky, spoke about this, he explained, so to speak, his statement that his vacation in crimea is approaching, he said that he shares the opinion that if moscow stops to control crimea, then, accordingly, it will never again be able to threaten any of its neighbors and generally destabilize security in europe, and that is why he wants to return to crimea, and not for the sake of tourism, as such, not for the sake of beautiful mountains or bagchisrai palace, and i am quoting jan lipavskyi, precisely in order to return to crimea as part of free, democratic ukraine. There was also a lot of talk about Volodymyr Zelenskyis peace formula, and many of the delegates mentioned it in their speeches. Let me remind you that at the end of the month there should be a third summit on the peace formula in malta, and the peace formula was mentioned by Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself when he joined the summit of the crimean platform, he, like again, the speaker of the lower house of the czech parliament, spoke about , which is also one of the tasks of the crimean platform not to let the world forget about the occupation of crimea and that russias great aggression began precisely with aggression , and finally, i want to say that approximately 70 parliamentary delegations took part, which is also a record, i am listening, so great, thank you very much for such a short analysis, in fact of the most important messages, we will continue to discuss this topic on our broadcast, Sashko Shevchenko, rfe rls correspondent from prague, about the situation with the second summit of the crimean platform, which, as sashko reminded, was attended by about 70 delegations from different countries. It svoboda ranok, a project about important things and, as i announced, we continue to talk about the crimean platform, the second summit that took place in prague, czech republic, the first took place before that in zagreb and now to our broadcast, we will also include the participant of this summit, yevhennia kravchuk , people s deputy of ukraine, servant of the people faction, joins our broadcast, good morning, ms. Yevhennie, thank you for finding the opportunity, well, actually. If you can say so, the biggest profit of this, the summit of the crimean platform in prague is for you, thats what you are you can highlight, in particular, from what was heard, voted, adopted in the resolution, and what, in fact, it is possible that the tatat was discussed outside the official meetings, well, in fact, since the 22nd year, well, after the fullscale invasion, there was a danger that the topic of crimea would be in the shadows, so it will be in the shadows and in the end, well, there will be much greater hostilities and attacks, but this did not happen, and it is very good that during the fullscale invasion, on the contrary, the crimean platform, as an international platform, received even better development, greater development, because indeed, this is already the second parliamentary summit, if you compare it with last years in zagreb, there are even more delegations this year, and i noticed because i was at both summits. Worked, noticed that the number of representatives of the socalled global south had increased, and the loudest applause was interrupted by the representative of sierra leone. Country from west africa, who spoke very sincerely, and, well, of course, sierra leone has no money there, no missiles, as he said, but there is our solidarity and we are a small, well, a small country there, we will not be silent, because this is an unjust war, and crimea is ukraine, so it is not that it is impossible to silence a separate one there , and russia, on the contrary, if we compare even with the inaugural summit, which took place at the level of governments, president s of the 21st year in kyiv, there are no statements now and there are only words that it is necessary to return crimea diplomatically, the participants agree that the instrument for the return of crimea should be chosen by ukraine itself, and we, in my opinion, are getting closer to the deoccupation of crimea, even compared to the 24th february 22, as it were it is not surprising, it did not sound controversial, and again, unconditional results, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about it, about the fact that ukraine actually provides itself, i apologize for taftology, the security of the black sea and, the grain corridor, because since september the month has already 50 ships leave ukrainian ports, mainly with grain, with food, they go along the western part of the black sea, at the same time as the black sea fleet, it gathered there closer to sevastopol, but already near sevastopol it is not restless, they are already they are thinking of building a base somewhere in the district occupied georgia in abkhazia. Ms. Yevhenni, continuing the topic of the return of crimea itself, this is a very important nuance, i asked ms. Maria, your colleague, about this yesterday, and it was not yet clear at the time, because such conversations in tettet had not yet taken place, you said that the participants of this summit, they have an understanding that they are going. An understanding to ukraine that it is kyiv that should determine which way, with which instrument to actually return crimea. And as you felt, how many still remain, i dont know, there are supporters, lets call it, or those who simply supports the idea that crimea will still have to be returned through diplomatic means, perhaps from the position of ukrainian forces, when the armed forces of ukraine will have complete superiority at the front and will be there, there will be no negotiations, but is there much among the representatives of those countries that participated in those summits, i am still rather inclined. To believe that crimea should be returned through diplomatic means, well, i would like to answer this in a slightly different way, how does the perception of the occupation of crimea change after the 22nd year, the absolute overwhelming majority delegations, by the way, the speaker of the lower house of the parliament also spoke about it, i spoke the president of the czech republic, they evaluate the worlds reaction to the annexation of crimea in a completely different way. Everyone admits that this reaction was insufficient, and it actually freed his hands, well, lets say, it did not stop putin from further war, from seizing, and there an attack on other territories of ukraine, therefore, well, in fact, a rethinking of the actions of the world 14th year, it helps us to promote the idea that crimea is not different in any way. Ah, than, in there occupied berdyansk, for example, yes, is luhansk and donetsk occupied, yes, everyone said that we, well, of course, that there is this platform, but it is about the territorial integrity, the complete territorial integrity, of ukraine, because russia has this propaganda narrative that its there, the plates of land, there, it means something else, and, by the way , its good that they spoke, now. Show them, they are two experts, two ukrainians, who are citizens of ukraine, who are representatives of the indigenous people, the Crimean Tatars and the ethnic minority, the greeks, who lived in crimea, well 2,000 years, there, if not more, and it is important to dispel these narratives, that actually, there is a crimean state there in the form of the crimean tatar khanate, it existed there for hundreds of years, and russia. Actually came there after the crimean war, well, that is this is actually the occupation of crimea, yes by the russian empire, then, they all tried, all the same, but we are in the soviet union, we are all one people, there are also soviet people and so on, and here is such a platform for communication, it is very important, because there are many world leaders, they are especially there understands that story, who was where, i have to interrupt you, because there are still two important questions. To which we would also like to hear an answer, the negotiations on ukraines accession to the European Union should begin even though kyiv does not control its entire territory as of now, the vicepresident of the European Parliament said, so when can we expect. The start of these negotiations, perhaps something has become clearer precisely as a result of the crimean platform and what you can share with us, well, first of all, the final declaration includes support for the european integration of ukraine and accession to the European Union, and the crimean platform includes absolutely all members of the European Union , by the way, there was even a speech by the vicespeaker of hungary, who firmly stood for the territorial integrity of ukraine, accordingly, we now expect such a timeline, on november 8 will be the decision of the european commission, which will assess the implementation of these seven points, which were presented to us as mandatory for the start of negotiations, and already in december, somewhere in the middle of december, this is the date of the meeting of the european council, and there will already be a political decision by the leaders of the countries, members of the European Union about the start of negotiations, and in parallel, moldova can obviously get this too. Also the start of negotiations, although everyone admits that moldovas progress is much less, but again, this is such a manifestation of solidarity, because everyone perfectly understands , that if it were not for ukraine, then moldova would have already been occupied, and it is important, well, this civilizational division , yes, it has a history of dragging more countries to the right side, so we are waiting for two dates, november and december, we have half a minute left, mr. Stefanchuk turned to the parliamentarians of other countries to study the experience of Holding Elections during the war, this is based on the results of the press conference he gave, what this testifies to, and he outlined five actual points, why elections in ukraine are considered impossible now. At the summit, they once tried again in ukraine, maybe i dont know the delegates who came to ask this question about the elections, or it was the initiative of the journalists who asked, and mr. Stefanchuk answered and actually turned to study this experience, and you know and these are journalists who ask about the elections, because at the summit there was not a single word about the elections, but it is correct that the questions are being asked, but i would still like to correct, it is not about the elections during the war, but the postwar elections and already there were even the first meetings with representatives of bosnia and herzegovina and croatia, which just, well, held such elections not so long ago, that is, after all, it was the 90s there , it was some kind of achievable period when it was, so we are talking about the postwar period election. That is, ukraine is currently studying this issue, ukrainian parliamentarians, in particular, how do it after the war is over . Well, it doesnt matter to us, well get to it, its better for us to talk about it and prepare in advance, to have time for a discussion, than to vote at the last moment on some law in a few months. I thank you for the activation and for the information that you voiced, yehenniya kravchuk, peoples deputy of ukraine, the servant of the people faction on the crimean platform, the summit that took place in prague, many people participated in it. Delegates from all over the world. There is one more topic we want to discuss today, a multigenerational family from skadovsk, in the occupied territory of the kherson region, together with their children, managed to return to the territory under the control of the ukrainian government. Oleksandr prokudin, head of the kherson Regional Military administration, announced this. He said that
