Hussar attends Crimea Platform parliamentary summit in Prague

Hussar said that Estonia would continue providing strong military, economic and political support to Ukraine until Ukraine had won the war started by Russia, restored its territorial integrity, and become a member of the European Union and NATO.

“We support the peace formula proposed by Ukrainian President that should be the basis of our further efforts. We must make establishing an international special tribunal to bring the perpetrators of Russia’s crime of aggression to justice a priority. We also have to continue with strengthening of the sanctions and move forward on using Russia’s frozen assets for the reconstruction of Ukraine,” he stated.

The parliamentary summit organised by Czechia and Ukraine will be opened on Tuesday by Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament Markéta Pekarová Adamová, Speaker of the Czech Senate Miloš Vystrčil, Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic Jan Lipavský. Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People Refat Chubarov and Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk will also speak at the Summit. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will deliver an on-line address.

At the plenary session, the representatives of parliaments will discuss the situation in Crimea, focusing on sanctions, ensuring of freedom of navigation, situation of human rights and the economic and environmental consequences of Russia’s temporary occupation. Supporting of Ukraine and increasing international pressure on Russia will be spoken about at the Summit on a wider scale, with the aim of restoring the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The participants of the Summit also plan to adopt a joint statement.

Hussar also plans to have a meeting with President of the Parliament of Moldova Igor Grosu during the Second Parliamentary Summit.
