NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg will take part in the second summit of the Crimean Platform, which will be held online on August 23.

This was reported by the press service of the Alliance on Friday.

Jens Stoltenberg's speech is expected at 14:50 Kyiv time. The speech, which the Secretary General will deliver remotely, will be broadcast on NATO's official website.

It is worth noting that this year the Alliance's representation at the summit is higher. Last year, NATO was represented by Deputy Secretary General Mircea Joane, who personally arrived in Kyiv.

Earlier, three G7 leaders - Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau and Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida - confirmed their participation in the online summit of the Crimean Platform.

The Crimean Platform is an international format created in 2021 that aims to achieve the de-occupation of Crimea.

The first summit of the Crimean platform was held last year also on August 23 in Kyiv.

It was attended by representatives of 47 states and international organizations, which approved a joint intergovernmental decision on how to act to stop the annexation and return of Crimea.
