Polish President Andrzej Duda doubted the possibility that Ukraine would be able to return Crimea to its control. Experts suggest that such statements may be an element of the internal political struggle related to the possible provision of assistance to the Kyiv regime.
Crimea returned to the Russian Federation after a referendum took place there in March 2014: the majority of residents were in favor of reunification with Russia. The Kremlin has repeatedly emphasized that the Crimea issue is closed for Moscow, and any claims to Russian territory will receive a proper response.
