Emine Dzhaparova expressed her gratitude to the United States for its support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, for the unwavering position of the United States regarding Russia's aggression in Donbas and illegal occupation of Crimea.  In this respect, she briefed her interlocutor regarding Ukraine's vision of the basic elements and substance of the Crimean platform, the main goal of which is consolidation of the non-recognition policy of Crimea's occupation by the international community.
