“A forced but sincere admission that Crimea is a foreign territory for Ukraine with its infrastructure, power and other mentality. It’s good to hear that the Ukrainian “representative” found the strength to respond to a topic that was pressing for the West, ”Balbek said.
According to the parliamentarian, through the words of his representative, Kiev sends a signal to Moscow.
“Ukraine no longer needs Crimea, and we will never give it back, but Kiev is forced to save face and claim its claim,” he concluded.
Earlier, Korinevich announced Ukraine’s unpreparedness for the “return” of Crimea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized that the issue is closed for Moscow.
Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents spoke out for reunification with Russia.
