“I know for sure that the day will come when Crimea will surely return to Ukraine and disconnected Crimean Tatar families will gather at one table ... and later on there will be only happy holidays,” Interfax-Ukraine quotes him.

In addition, Zelensky spoke about plans to simplify the legislative level of obtaining permission for IDPs from Crimea to visit relatives remaining on the peninsula.

Earlier, Zelensky suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin discuss during international negotiations in Minsk, "whose Crimea is and who is not there in the Donbass."

In turn, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, noted that Crimea is one of the regions of Russia, and the question of the peninsula’s ownership cannot exist.

Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held in March 2014, in which most residents spoke out for reunification with Russia.
