Kremlin creates congress to counterbalance Ukrainian Crimea Platform (UNIAN)
The Russian authorities are concerned about Ukraine's diplomatic successes in the de-occupation of Crimea, so they created a fake congress to counterbalance the Crimea Platform, according to the National Resistance Center.
As part of this year's Yalta International Economic Forum (YIEF), Moscow hosted a congress of the International Club of Friends of Crimea and the Crimean African Business Council.
The Kremlin attracted representatives from more than 40 countries and about 150 delegates.
"The main goal of the event was to assure representatives from Africa and Latin America that Russia can meet their grain needs and that they can invest in projects in Russia," the report states.
As part of these discussions, Russia is developing mechanisms to counter international economic sanctions to protect its economic relations with markets that depend on grain supplies
"On the forum platforms, Russian businessmen actively pushed for cooperation with enterprises in the TOT for African countries. Russians assured representatives of the Global South that they would supply them with grain crops, including from agricultural regions in the TOT of Ukraine," the report states.
The Kremlin is deceitfully trying to involve these countries in legitimizing the seized territories as part of the Russian Federation, but "it will neither be able to gain a foothold on Ukrainian lands nor provide these countries with the products they require so much."
