Zelenskyy said in Kyiv on the 22nd that Ukraine will under no circumstances legally recognize Crimea's annexation by Russia. He told reporters, "There is nothing to talk about. It violates our constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the Ukrainian people."
This statement comes as reports suggest that recognizing Crimea as Russian territory is being considered as part of a U.S.-backed proposal to end the war in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy warned that any discussion about Crimea could potentially push negotiations into a framework dominated by Russia. He acknowledged that signals regarding Crimea have appeared through different channels, but noted that Ukraine would immediately reject any formal proposal. (Source: The Kyiv Independent)
