Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that the format of the Crimea platform be the start for other "humanitarian and diplomatic platforms" that would facilitate the "de-occupation" of other territories - from Transnistria and Abkhazia to the Northern Territories, he said during an online speech at the session of the First Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimean Platform, which takes place in Zagreb, UNIAN reports.

He appealed to the participants of the Platform with a call to "by all means visit Crimea, immediately after the return of the Ukrainian flag there."

According to Zelenskyy, the "de-occupation" of the peninsula will mean "the rebirth of real peace."  "The Russian potential for aggression will be destroyed at the root when the Ukrainian flag is back in its rightful place - in the cities and villages of Crimea. Crimea must be freed from its use by Russia as a springboard. Then the world will feel that there will be no more losses, and people will feel that the world is becoming safer," Zelenskyy believes.
