With the expansion of the Russia’s war of aggression to the whole of Ukraine last year, Crimea, occupied since 2014, has become even more militarised. Political protest against the war and the Russian occupation of Crimea is criminalised and many activists and Crimean Tatars are facing repression. With the military successes of the Ukrainian army, hopes are growing again for an end to the illegal annexation.
What is the current situation on the Peninsula? To what extent have the possibilities for representatives of the Crimean Tatar people to influence political processes in Ukraine changed? How can crimes committed by the Russian occupation authorities and collaborators be dealt with in the future? What are the plans and initiatives for the reintegration of Crimea? How can the international community support Ukraine?
These and other questions will be discussed with our guest:
Tamila Tasheva, Permanent Representative of the Ukrainian President in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Crimean Tatar and co-founder of the non-governmental organisation Crimea SOS.
Moderator: Nataliya Pryhornytska, political scientist and co-founder of the Alliance of Ukrainian Organisations.
