US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo remembered the Crimea again. On his Facebook, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine told him that Washington “will never recognize the annexation of Crimea”.
“The United States will never accept a Russian attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and Georgia through attempts to annex the Crimea, support destabilizing proxy forces in eastern Ukraine, or occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia”, – the report says.
In principle, you may not admit it. Moreover, there was neither “annexation” nor “occupation”. The U.S. refuses to recognize one simple fact: everything that happened in the Crimea, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Donbass is a choice of residents of these territories. They refused to accept the policy of the authorities of the countries they used to belong to and made their choice. This is the very democracy and freedom that the United States promotes so much, but cannot consider it even in front of their own noses.
