Decree to return the Crimea

On February 26, 2021, Volodymyr Zelensky signs the Decree “On Certain Measures Aimed at Deoccupation and Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol.”

In particular, the government is instructed to organize and launch the “Crimea Platform,” as well as measures to develop and support the Crimean Tatar language & culture and protect the rights of the inhabitants of the annexed Crimea.

The main directions of the Platform’s work:

  • the policy of non-recognition of the attempt to annex the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol;
  • security and freedom of navigation;
  • sanctions;
  • violations of human rights and international humanitarian law;
  • environmental and economic threats.
