“We worked a lot together with other institutions, experts and the public,” he said.
According to the minister, "this is the first ever strategic document of this level on Ukraine's foreign policy."
The text of the corresponding strategy is published on the website of the Ukrainian government.
The document states that “the obvious conditions for the revision of relations with the Russian Federation and the transition from confrontation to“ peaceful coexistence ”should be the termination of the Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine and the return of the temporarily occupied territories, the implementation of compensation and other forms of reparation for damage caused to Ukraine as a result of the temporary occupation. territories ".
In February, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the idea of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to celebrate the "Day of Resistance to the Occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol," said that Russia categorically disagrees with this wording and believes that this in no way corresponds to the actual state of affairs around Crimea.
He noted that the Crimeans themselves can give the best reaction to this statement, who will tell what caused the decision of Crimea to reunite with Russia, and recall the background of events.
Crimea became a Russian region following a March 2014 referendum in which most of the peninsula's residents voted for reunification with Russia.
