PM earlier said the concept of the international "Crimea is Ukraine" platform was being finalized.
Russia will be invited to participate in the international platform toward the end of Crimea occupation, according to First Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Emine Dzheppar.
"We will invite Russia to take part in the platform. Of course, we understand, seeing their ostrich-like position throughout these six years, how they twist things and act absolutely cynically towards Ukraine and international law, there is little hope that Russia will take part in the platform," Dzheppar has told RFE/RL's Crimea.Realities.
If one of the platform's tasks is to monitor what is happening in Crimea, then the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry understands that "it's about the crimes that Russia is committing in Crimea."
"We are convinced that what happened in 2014 in Crimea and Donbas is a violation of the world order that emerged after World War 2. Not only Ukraine is interested in restoring justice. This is a test for Western countries," Dzheppar said.
