Josep Borrell announced this during a videoconference at the UN Security Council. The first Crimean Platform summit is planned to be held in August 2021. The new international format is designed to promote the de-occupation of Crimea and the protection of human rights on the peninsula.

“The situation in this country is being used as a tool for political purposes here in the Security Council. To make it clear, 6 years after all members of this Security Council supported the Minsk agreements, very little has been done to implement them. Russia is a party to the conflict and we take this into account in order to take a constructive position”, – Josep Borrell said.
