So she answered the question of how Russia will interact with the direct participants in this summit.
In an interview with Gazeta.Ru, a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that all participants in the Crimean Platform are aware of Moscow's position and have received repeated invitations to see Crimea and make up "their own, not biased, not mediated impression."
“They did not find an opportunity to send there even ambassadors accredited in Russia, or at least representatives of embassies.
They deliberately and biasedly block any contacts under any pretext.
At the same time, they say that they are not indifferent to the topic of Crimea.
This is hypocrisy ... Of course, Russia will fix the position of these countries and states and draw appropriate conclusions, ”Zakharova said.
She added that the participation of a number of countries in the forum initiated by Kiev is proof of the politicized approach of the West to the Crimea issue.
According to the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the meeting will focus exclusively on the information and political component.
“The whole story with this gathering will not be about the realities and not about the reality of the Crimea today.
And not even about analyzing, already in a historical perspective, what happened in 2014: preconditions, facts, results ... Everything will be focused on the information and political component, ”Zakharova says.
The Crimean Platform summit is scheduled for 23 August.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov previously called it a Sabbath.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
