Olga Kuryshko reminded the audience that after the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been using the “Crimean scenario” during the occupation of new territories of Ukraine: it includes forced passportization and militarization of education, as well as other crimes that have been taking place on the peninsula since 2014, as a way to overcome Ukrainian resistance.

The Deputy Permanent Representative spoke about the Mission’s vision of the liberated Crimea, which is currently reflected in three documents: The Strategy of Economic Recovery of Crimea, De-occupied Crimea: Priority Steps of the State, and the Strategy of Cognitive De-occupation.

The event was organized by the International Center for Ukrainian Victory (ICUV), together with the Civil Network “OPORA”.
