Address by the President of Ukraine
February 26, 2021
“Exactly seven years ago, on February 26, 2014, the largest rally in support of the territorial integrity of Ukraine took place in Ukrainian Simferopol involving tens of thousands of Crimean residents.”
“In memory of their civic position and courage, February 26 was declared in Ukraine the Day of Resistance to the Occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.”
“Today I signed a decree on certain measures aimed at deoccupation and reintegration of the Crimean peninsula. In particular, the government is tasked with organizing and launching the Crimean Platform, as well as taking measures to develop and support the Crimean Tatar language, culture and protect the rights of the residents of annexed Crimea.”
“I sincerely believe that the day will come when I will be able to repeal my own decree – simply because it will lose its relevance and Crimea will return to Ukraine. We will preserve the memory of all those who were not afraid to say on February 26, 2014: “Crimea is Ukraine”. And we will do everything so that this thesis is never questioned by anyone again.”
