The war in Ukraine will not be over so long as Crimea is occupied by Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday, APA reports citing CNN.
While the thrust of Kyiv's efforts have focused on recapturing territory in the south and east of Ukraine, Zelensky told CNN's Erin Burnett that his ultimate goal was to liberate the peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 in violation of international law.
“We cannot imagine Ukraine without Crimea. And while Crimea is under the Russian occupation, it means only one thing: the war is not over yet,” he said.
Burnett asked Zelensky whether there was any scenario under which there could be peace without Crimea.
