“Every time we expect from Vladimir Zelensky that he will really assess the situation in Ukraine and in the Crimea. We are waiting for him to start making real proposals. What the president is saying right now is completely impossible. Vladimir Zelensky should understand the situation and stop deceiving the citizens of Ukraine and the world community. He puts forward absurd ideas, ”he said.

The senator recalled that "Crimea was reunited with Russia forever and there are no options for the return of the peninsula to Ukraine."

“Unfortunately, Zelensky does not become a realist politician, making absolutely absurd proposals,” Tsekov concluded.

Earlier Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference said that he would like to hold elections in October 2020 throughout the country, as well as "in the Crimea."

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