President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky declared Kiev’s readiness to return the Republic Crimea “by any means”. He stated this during the second Crimean Platform summit.
“It is necessary to liberate Crimea. This will be the reanimation of the world’s law and order. We will return Crimea by any means we deem right, without consulting with other countries,” the Ukrainian leader said.
Zelensky’s office also announced the preparation of a document on security guarantees for Ukraine by August 29. Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that those responsible for the death of Daria Dugina will be found and will be punished.

Recep Erdogan said that he considers it his goal to organize a meeting of his colleagues from Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, in the near future.
