Crimea has been recently at the heart of a debate over the war due to reported Ukraine’s strikes on Russian infrastructure in Crimea in mid-August. It was also toward the end of August when the Second Crimea Platform took place. It is a Ukraine-initiated tool to keep the issue of Crimea high on the international agenda.<br /><br />Guest: Nedim Useinow, a member of the Coordination Council of the World Congress of Crimean Tatars in Poland. He also represents the Department of European Islam Studies at the University of Warsaw.<br /><br />"The mission of journalists is to reveal the truth", <a href="https://neweasterneurope.eu/2022/07/14/the-mission-of-journalists-is-to-reveal-the-truth/" rel="noopener">https://neweasterneurope.eu/2022/07/14/the-mission-of-journalists-is-to-reveal-the-truth/</a><br /><br />"The Crimea Platform as a new approach to a seven-year-old problem", <a href="https://neweasterneurope.eu/2021/08/24/the-crimea-platform-as-a-new-approach-to-a-seven-year-old-problem/" rel="noopener">https://neweasterneurope.eu/2021/08/24/the-crimea-platform-as-a-new-approach-to-a-seven-year-old-problem/</a><br /><br />"The Crimean Platform: possible light in the hybrid tunnel", <a href="https://neweasterneurope.eu/2021/08/23/the-crimean-platform-possible-light-in-the-hybrid-tunnel/" rel="noopener">https://neweasterneurope.eu/2021/08/23/the-crimean-platform-possible-light-in-the-hybrid-tunnel/</a>
