Ukraine Does Not Trade Its Land and Does Not Abandon Its People – Speech by the President at the Fourth Summit of the International Crimea Platform

11 September 2024 – 17:57

Dear attendees, dear participants, guests, our partners, friends!

Thank you very much for being with us today.

Mr. Mustafa Dzhemilev, all representatives of the Mejlis!

Dear Crimean Tatar people! All our Ukrainian people!

Today we have Nariman Dzhelyal with us. A man who is well known in Ukraine. The Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people. By the way, he is a participant of our First Summit of the Crimea Platform. Like many other people whose hearts belong to Crimea and Ukraine, the Russian occupiers tried to deprive him of his home and captured Nariman as a prisoner. They captured him and kept him behind bars for almost three years. But Ukraine does not forget its prisoners and it has not forgotten Nariman Dzhelyal. We freed him, brought him home, brought him back to Ukraine, and gave him back his freedom. And this is not just about one person. This is about our fundamental policy. The policy of our state, the policy on Crimea. The policy on all our temporarily occupied territory and on all our Ukrainian citizens who have been deprived of their freedom by Russia. We will not leave anything or anyone in captivity. I would like all our citizens in Ukraine and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to hear this – no matter where you are now, and no matter how difficult it is for you. This is part of our morality. Ukraine does not trade its land and does not abandon its people. And when we work with the world for a just end to this war, we remind them not only of the land that now – temporarily – bears the occupier’s tricolor, but also of people’s fates that cannot be left destroyed. We in Ukraine do not forget many people. And today at the Memorial I remembered many of them, we remembered them. And we must do it all the time: remind the world, remind the loved ones and families of our prisoners that we know, we remember, and we fight for them. We remember Server Mustafayev, Leniye Umerova, Amet Suleymanov, Tofik Abdulhaziiev, Vladyslav Yesypenko, and all other Crimean prisoners – prisoners of Russia.

And the same way we remember all our people – civilians and military, adults and children – who are now in Russian captivity, or who may not be behind bars, but who are unfortunately forced to go through the humiliation of occupation – one of the greatest abuses for any free person. This is the evil that should have remained forever in the distant past, but which Russia has brought to this time, taking human lives. I ask everyone present here to observe a minute of silence to honor the memory of our people who were killed by the Russian war, who were killed by Russia in captivity, in occupation, during deportation.

Thank you.

Dear friends!

Every our citizen, all our people on all the temporarily occupied Ukrainian land, all our people who are in captivity and waiting for their release, should see the most important thing – our Ukrainian flag. To see it, to feel freedom, because they will be liberated. And also, our whole country deserves reliable, guaranteed security; and the occupier must inevitably be held accountable for all the crimes of war. All this should be a just end to the war. I want to thank all those who make this happen, who fight and work for Ukraine, for their native home. I thank all our partners – those who are present, and those who are helping us, but are not here now. Those who are really with us all the time, supporting us; and I urge everyone not to waste time, and not to miss opportunities. And I appeal to the members of the Crimea Platform: we need maximum support to bring people back from captivity and to stop all Russian abuses.

Why are Crimean Tatars persecuted in the occupied Crimea? Why have there been 10 years of repression against Muslims and many others who just want to live their lives freely? Why are most of the people in Russian captivity brutally tortured? We cannot turn a blind eye to all this. And I urge, first of all, the states of our region, and these are Muslim societies – both Türkiye and Azerbaijan –please, show your leadership and help us stand up against injustice and abuse. You need to be heard. We desperately need your voices. Especially to counter the evil that Russia is doing to the Crimean Tatar people. And we urge the countries that are working to implement the Peace Formula – and there are already almost a hundred countries from all parts of the world: convince your partners who are still holding back from working with us – convince them that true peace must have no alternatives. No frozen occupations! No people left behind in captivity! No repressions forgotten and thus seemingly forgiven by the world. When we remember the victims of the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people and today, we opened the Memorial in Kyiv that will preserve the memory of this crime against the people, we affirm that no crime of the occupier should remain unanswered. When we insist on a just end to the war, when we remind the world that the occupation of our Crimea was the beginning of this war, we fight for international law and the security of every nation. When our warriors liberate the Black Sea from Russia’s military presence, we prove to everyone in the world that there are no omnipotent aggressors. And when our Ukrainian drones and missiles, our warriors, deprive the occupier of its tranquility, we all feel that tranquility will definitely return to Ukraine and for Ukraine. And we all want peace together. We all need security together. So, we all have to work together to advance Ukraine’s victory – a truly lasting peace. I am confident: we will be able to achieve this – to achieve real peace, just peace, and above all lasting peace. We see it. And we will see, I am sure, a free Crimea.

I want to thank you all once again for always standing with Ukraine! Glory to all our warriors, to all our people!

Glory to Ukraine!

On behalf of the Ukrainian people, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and close ones of the 9/11 victims.

We join our key ally, the United States, and the entire American people in today’s commemoration of those who perished as a result of this heinous crime. We honor all of those who worked tirelessly in the aftermath of the attack to help others, often sacrificing their lives to do so.

We mourn alongside you, our American friends. We, Ukrainians, are all too familiar with the pain and grief of families who have lost loved ones as a result of terror.

We are determined to defend our common values against terror and aggression. Every peace-loving nation and every family deserves to live in safety. We must and will stand together with our allies to ensure this. Terror must never go unpunished.

In his first visit to Kyiv UK Foreign Secretary will announce at least £600 million worth of support to Ukraine

-£242 million announced for 2024 to 2025 for immediate humanitarian, energy and stabilisation needs as well as support to reforms, recovery and reconstruction.

-$484 million worth of loan guarantees for World Bank lending before the end of the year, to bolster Ukraine’s economic stability.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:
“The UK’s support to Ukraine is unwavering. Our commitment of over £600 million worth of support is the latest installment in our enduring support to Ukraine. This will provide vital support to Ukrainians as they continue to endure relentless Russian attacks.”

US Secretary of State, during his visit to Kyiv announced the allocation of humanitarian aid to Ukraine in the total amount of more than $700 million:

-$325 million to restore Ukrainian energy infrastructure and power grids;

-$290 million to provide basic services – including safe drinking water, food and medicine – to millions of people who have been forced to flee their homes;

-$102 million for humanitarian demining.

https://eurointegration.com.ua/news/2024/09/11/7193997/

European Pravda has the details: (machine translated)

During a visit to Kyiv on Wednesday, September 11, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the allocation of humanitarian and other assistance to Ukraine totaling more than $ 700 million.

He said this at a press conference together with the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and Great Britain, according to “European Truth”.

Blinken stressed that Russia is once again trying to attack Ukrainian energy, “to use the cold as a weapon against the Ukrainian people.”

“That is why today we are announcing the allocation of $ 325 million in new funding for the restoration of Ukrainian energy and electricity networks,” – he announced, adding that a meeting of the Group of Seven Plus will be held in the near future, also dedicated to helping Ukraine’s energy.

The US Secretary of State also announced $ 290 million in humanitarian support to provide basic services – including safe drinking water, food and medicine – to millions of people in Ukraine and the region who have been forced to flee their homes.

“Finally, we are announcing the allocation of $ 102 million in additional funding for humanitarian demining to help neutralize landmines and ammunition left by Russia throughout Ukraine,” Blinken added.

It will be recalled that the heads of US and British diplomatic missions Anthony Blinken and David Lemmy on Wednesday arrived together in Kyiv.

Against this background, Britain announced the selection at least £ 242 million to support Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian attacks, as well as the deployment of $ 484 million in financial support and military equipment.

If you’re wondering why the Secretary of State had to go to Kyiv to announce this, I’ll remind everyone that the Federal fiscal year ends on 30 September. If you do not spend all of your travel budget, or any other part of your budget, by the end of the fiscal year, you don’t get as much next year. Of course, that is predicated on Congress actually passing the legislation to fund the US government past 30 September 2024.

Here’s the full text of both tweets from Voice of American News reporter Ostap Yarysh:

‼️ In a letter to @POTUS, a bipartisan group of lawmakers from the Congressional Ukraine Caucus called to lift restrictions on striking inside Russia with long-range weapons. “We write to request that you immediately end limitations on Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons provided by the US and other NATO allies to strike legitimate military targets inside Russia. … [These restrictions] are inconsistent with those that we would ever accept for our own operations or those we place on other security partners who use American weapons to defend their sovereignty and people, such as Israel.”

‼️ In a separate letter, a group of key House Republicans also urged Joe Biden to let Ukraine strike targets deep inside Russia. “The administration’s concerns about escalation have been consistently invalidated since Day One of the war. Neither Ukraine’s use of U.S.-provided weapons in Russia nor its military incursion into Russia’s Kursk region – the first foreign occupation of Russian territory since World War II – have triggered a Russian escalatory response.”

Here’s the actual letters.

As I indicated above, Australian Major General (ret) Mick Ryan dove deep into the fact that the Biden administration has gone almost three years without a strategy for Ukraine.

In the past 24 hours, it has been reported that the Biden administration has finally submitted a strategy for supporting #Ukraine to the U.S. Congress. What is the current U.S. strategy for Ukraine, what might the new strategy look like and will it influence on the trajectory of the war? 1/19 🧵

2/ Currently, there is no published U.S. strategy specifically for the war in #Ukraine. After 31 months, the Biden administration is still using crisis management, speeches and slogans such as ‘for as long as it takes’ rather than developing and executed a clear, well resourced strategy for Ukraine. 

3/ The key elements of the U.S. approach since the beginning of the war have been: 1. Providing military assistance to Ukraine; 2. Rallying international support to provide economic, humanitarian & military aid; 3. Leading development & implementation of economic sanctions; & 4. Avoiding a war between the U.S. & Russia. 

4/ The lack of a clear U.S. strategy for #Ukraine is hardly a new issue. Several organisations have proposed strategies for the U.S. approach to the war. In May this year, the Center for Strategic and International Studies proposed a plan for Victory in Ukraine encompassing five strategic initiatives.

Victory in Ukraine Starts with Addressing Five Strategic ProblemsThe new assistance package passed by Congress requires the administration to produce a U.S. strategy for supporting Ukraine. This piece outlines five key issues this strategy should address.https://www.csis.org/analysis/victory-ukraine-starts-addressing-five-strategic-problems

5/ What might an explicit U.S. strategy seek to achieve, and what might its major components be? In essence, what will be the purpose of the strategy and its key lines of effort? 

6/ The most important element of the strategy will be the purpose of U.S. support that is described in the document. Based on a realistic diagnosis of Ukrainian and Russian capacity, and the current situation in the war, the purpose should include a clear vision of the outcome, or the end state, of the war that the U.S. seeks. 

7/ The strategy might employ existing statements on Ukraine such as a 2022 opinion piece from the U.S. President. Biden wrote in a May 2022 New York Times op-ed about Ukraine that “America’s goal is straightforward: We want to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression.” 

8/ However, a clear end state is insufficient. What strategic tasks might be needed to achieve this? 

9/ Just ‘defending Ukraine’ is insufficient. The new U.S. strategy, if it is to have any impact, must shift to ‘defeat Russia in Ukraine’ as a key objective. This will influence thinking in Europe and message Putin that he will not be allowed to ‘win by waiting out’ the West. It should also inform the amount and pace of support for Ukraine. 

10/ Another objective must be to sustain the international coalition that is supporting Ukraine. Across an array of military and economic support initiatives, this coalition is providing an enormous amount of support to Ukraine and this need to be sustained, if not increased in size and speed of delivery. 

11/ A third objective should be investment in defence industry to hasten support to Ukraine, rebuild U.S. war stocks and to deter Chinese adventurism. This might include increased defence production in the US, and among its allies, as well as additional sanctions and covert action to interfere with defence production in Russia and unfriendly nations. 

12/ A 4th objective will be achieving increased diplomatic support for Ukraine from the international community and lessen the tendency of fence-sitting nations to tacitly support Russia through procuring cheap energy or not supporting Ukraine in the United Nations. Related to this must be increased efforts to counter Russian misinformation, and its amplification by countries such as China. 

13/ These objectives would underpin ‘winning the war’. But a U.S. strategy should also anticipate and support Ukraine ‘winning the peace’. 

14/ Winning the Peace objectives would include security guarantees for Ukraine (including support for its entry into NATO and bilateral arrangements), support for reconstruction in Ukraine and the support for pursuing and prosecuting Russian war criminals. Collectively, this will probably be a decades long undertaking. 

15/ Nothing in this proposed strategy is simple, cheap or quick. But that is not what strategy is about. 

16/ The U.S. will need to move beyond policies and statements which provide instant gratification to a strategy that underpins a theory of victory for Ukraine, guarantees its long-term security – and provides reassurance for other U.S. allies about the capacity and reliability of the U.S. in Europe and other parts of the world. 

17/ Time will tell whether the new U.S. strategy shifts thinking about U.S. support for Ukraine. It could be a consequential document that sets a different and more audacious policy for U.S. support to Ukraine. Alternatively, it might be just more of what we have seen in the past 31 months, and then die a quiet death in early 2025. 

18/ But, once it is leaked, which is almost certain, many will be watching for insights to hopefully answer a key question that remains unclear at present: does the U.S really want Ukraine to win? Read my full article on this topic here: mickryan.substack.com/p/a-us-strateg…

A U.S. Strategy for Ukraine…FinallyA Ukraine strategy has apparently been delivered to the U.S. Congress. What might this U.S. strategy look like and what impact will it have?https://mickryan.substack.com/p/a-us-strategy-for-ukrainefinally

19/ Thank you to the following for the links and images used in this thread: @DefenceU @CSIS 

The Biden administration is definitely in Lessons from Alice territory.

Alice: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

The Cheshire Cat: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

Alice: “I don’t much care where.”

The Cheshire Cat: “Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.”

Alice: “…so long as I get somewhere.”

The Cheshire Cat: “Oh, you’re sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.”

We used to use the above in Seminar 12 at USAWC. We applied these lessons in the following way:

If you don’t know where you’re going, it really doesn’t matter which path you take.

If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t know if you’ve arrived.

If you don’t know where you’re going, no matter where you are… you’re there.

If you don’t know where you are, you probably can’t chart a course to where you want to go.

Decisiveness comes from knowing the desired endstate!

In World War II, the U.S. made the right choice by helping liberate Europe, turning Europe into one of the most prosperous places on Earth. If Ukraine falls to Russia, a possibility more real than many pro-Ukrainians think, it will undermine the US-created postwar order.

Investigators from Conflict Armament Research, who analyzed remnants of these missiles in Kyiv on September 3, found that at least one missile used in an August 18 attack was produced this year. Missiles from July and August lacked clear manufacturing dates.

Port Olya 3 vessel had shipped around 220 short-range ballistic missiles via the Caspian Sea to Russia. The source told the news network that the ship arrived at the Russian port on 4 September.

It is believed the Fateh-360 ballistic missiles – with a range of more than 70 miles – were loaded on to a large cargo train. The Ukrainian source said an assumption is that they will be sent to a military training ground called Ashuluk for tests and to enable further training before they are used on the battlefield.

Today, search and rescue operations are ongoing at the place of its disappearance (63 km from Zaliznyi Port, Kherson region).

There was no information about the two crew members, there is a possibility that both did not survive.”
