The Kremlin regards Zelensky's statements on the "return of Crimea" as a direct threat

“Take yesterday's statements on Russian issues.

Speaking in parliament, Zelenskiy said that the return of Crimea should be the main goal and philosophy of Ukraine.

That is, in fact, we see it as a direct threat to Russia, ”Peskov told reporters.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed that the Crimea issue is closed for Russia, and the referendum on the peninsula was held in strict accordance with international law.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the peninsula's residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
