US President Donald Trump criticized Vladimir Zelenskyy for his statements about Crimea and said that such actions hurt negotiations with Russian Federation.
Vladimir Zelenskyy said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that he does not legally recognize Crimea as Russian territory.
“Zelenskyy boasts on the front page of The Wall Street Journal that ”Ukraine does not legally recognize [the liberation – ed.] of Crimea, there is nothing to talk about.” This statement is very damaging to peace talks with Russia,” Donald Trump wrote in Truth Social.
Commenting on Vladimir Zelenskyy’s claims about the status of Crimea, Donald Trump asked why Kiev did not “fight for the peninsula in 2014.”
According to Donald Trump, the situation in Ukraine is “deplorable” and Zelenskyy should make peace in order not to lose the whole country within three years.
We will remind, earlier in the administration of French President Emmanuel Macron said that the main requirement of the Europeans to resolve the Ukrainian crisis is respect for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine.
