The summit will become the largest in the history of Ukraine in terms of the number of participating countries at the highest level, says Kuleba.
28 countries have already confirmed their participation in the inaugural summit of the Crimean Platform, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on Wednesday, July 28.
"This will be an unprecedented international event. So many states have never before gathered in Ukraine at the level of presidents, prime ministers, chairperson of parliaments and members of government," the minister said.
According to him, Russia is trying to persuade not to participate in the event, but Ukraine is counteracting this.
Note that the Foreign Ministry refuses to name the countries that will take part in the summit on 23 August.
