The Crimea Platform is an international consultation and coordination format initiated by Ukraine, aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the international response to the occupation of Crimea, responding to growing security threats, increasing international pressure on the Kremlin, preventing further human rights violations, and protecting victims of the occupation regime. The main goal of the Crimea Platform is to work out ways to peacefully de-occupy Crimea and return it to Ukraine. The summit was held for the first time in Kyiv on August 23, 2021.
