The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, in an interview with the Fox News channel, noted that currently Ukraine does not have sufficient forces to return its borders of 1991, but is ready to work on the return of Crimea through diplomatic methods.
“Legally, we do not recognize any occupied territory as Russian, including those captured in 2014. However, so far we lack the strength to push Russia back to the border line of 1991 with weapons,” Zelenskyy said.
He also emphasized that he understands the complexity of the situation: “Are we ready to give up Crimea for the sake of a peace agreement that will stop the bloodshed? No. But we are ready to return it diplomatically. We cannot afford to lose tens of thousands of lives to achieve this goal.”
The president emphasized that the return of Crimea is possible only through diplomacy, not through military means.
Earlier, Zelensky noted that contradictory statements from representatives of Trump’s entourage can be made for different purposes: to assess the reaction of societies, to attract attention to himself, or even to demonstrate his position. However, these statements have no official weight until Trump himself receives the power.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his hope for the support of the newly elected US President Donald Trump in the event of negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow regarding the end of the war.
