“Inside the United States, opinion is divided on the issue of Crimea,” the report says.

The article emphasizes that some voices in the United States are talking about the importance of the peninsula, while the representative of the state of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Green, considers the attempts to "capture" Crimea as complete madness.

Earlier, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, announced Kyiv's intention to return Crimea under the control of Ukraine.

The director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, called Ukraine's "return" of Crimea impossible.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014: the majority of residents voted for reunification with Russia.
