Tamila Tasheva spoke about the activities of the Mission in the reintegration of the liberated Crimea, as well as the challenges that the body faced after 2014 and 2022.

“We are preparing for reintegration processes in every sphere. We understand that Crimea has been outside the processes taking place in Ukraine for a long time and will require the implementation of systemic programs. We are already forming a personnel reserve and have developed best practices for each sector,” the Permanent Representative said.

Ms. Tomak told the audience about the current situation in the occupied Crimea, in particular about the resistance of our citizens to the occupiers. She mentioned the resistance movements, as well as isolated cases of people’s protests against the Russian invaders.

The members of the delegation noted that they follow the activities of the Mission, as well as the events on the Crimean peninsula, and look forward to visiting the Crimean peninsula in person after its de-occupation.
