The United States considers the possibility of recognizing Russia’s control over temporarily occupied Crimea within the wider potential peaceful settlement of the war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
About it reports Bloomberg with reference to sources that are familiar with negotiations.
According to the newspaper, such a concession from Washington would be another signal that President Donald Trump is trying to reach an agreement on ceasefire. On April 18, he, together with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, hinted at his readiness to curtail his efforts from peaceful mediation, unless progress is made in the near future.
Possible “Recognition of Crimea as a “Russian territory” threatens to undermine international law, which directly prohibits the annexation of territories and the change of borders by force. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly stated that Kiev would disagree on the transfer of any part of its territory.
In the White House, the final decision on Crimea has not yet been made. At the same time, neither the Trump administration nor the State Department responded to the requests of Bloomberg journalists. The US representative who participates in the negotiations also refused to comment on the situation.
On April 17, the United States during the Paris Negotiations offered the Soviet project to the Allies, which includes ceasefire conditions and mitigation of sanctions against Russia in the event of a persistent armistice.
According to sources, the US proposal provides for actual “Freezing »Front line. This means that most of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine will remain under the control of the Russian Federation, at least for the time of the truce.
