President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine never recognizes any temporarily occupied territories by Russian.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this while communicating with journalists.
The Head of State responded to US President Donald Trump’s statements that Crimea should remain Russian.
“Our position is unchanged: only the Ukrainian people have the right to decide which territories are Ukrainian. And the Constitution of Ukraine decides: all temporarily occupied territories – they are temporarily occupied, they all belong to Ukraine, the Ukrainian people. Ukraine will not recognize any temporarily occupied territories legally, ”the Head of State emphasized.
Zelensky added that this is a fair position, and it is also legitimate in terms of international law.
“This is even those countries that balance in relation to us and Russia, even they all recognize the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula,” Zelensky explained.
Recall that Trump attacked Zelensky for publicly rejecting the possibility of recognizing the occupation of Crimea.
Meanwhile, in the Western media, the so -called peace plan of Trump, which provides for freezing of war on the front line and recognizing the occupation of Crimea – however, recognition not by Ukraine but by the United States.
The words of Trump that “the belonging of the occupied Crimea is not subject to discussion” “completely coincide” with the position of Russia, said the Kremlin Prescribe Dmitry Peskov.
