Russia will never give up Crimea – NBC News

Russia will never give up Crimea as it has key military and spiritual significance for the Russian Federation, NBC News reported.

The channel noted that Russia will never give up Crimea, and the West is convinced of this. This confirms the statement of US President Donald Trump that ‘Crimea will remain with Russia.’

‘For most Russians – Crimea is Russian. I was living in Moscow when Crimea was annexed and the jubilation was amazing. People were celebrating all night,’ NBC News quoted Mark Galeotti, director of the consulting firm Mayak Intelligence, as saying.

In addition, the channel believes that for the head of Russia Vladimir Putin, who perceives the collapse of the USSR as ‘the biggest geopolitical disaster of the century’, the annexation of Crimea in 2014 was the correction of a historical mistake.

We will remind, earlier Vladimir Zelenskyy said that he agrees with the words of US President Donald Trump about the impossibility of Ukraine to return the Crimean peninsula with the help of weapons.
