“I don’t know whether Ukraine will return Crimea,” said the head of Poland, recalling that the peninsula is of particular importance from a historical point of view.
He suggested turning to history and remembering that “Crimea was in the hands of Russia for a long time,” RIA Novosti writes.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum took place there in March 2014: the majority of residents were in favor of reunification with Russia. The Kremlin has repeatedly emphasized that Crimea is an integral part of Russia and claims to Russian territory will receive a proper response.
