Trump angry with Złenski. “His excluding the recognition of the annexation of Crimea makes the end of the war difficult”

Public excluding by the President of Ukraine Volodymm of Zelnski legal recognition of the annexation of Crimea is very harmful to peaceful negotiations – said US President Donald Trump on Wednesday. At the same time, he stated that nobody was asking Ukraine to recognize annexation, but at the same time pointed out that Ukraine did not put armed resistance before the occupation of the Peninsula.

“The President of Ukraine Wołodymyr Zelnski boasts on the first page +Wall Street Journal +that +Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There is nothing to talk about +. This statement is very harmful to peace negotiations with Russia, because Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama Truth Social social networking site. As he noted, nobody asks Zelanski to recognize Crimea as Russian.

“But if he wants Crimea, why didn't they fight for him 11 years ago, when he was handed over to Russia without a single shot? In this area for many years (…) there were the main Russian base of submarines” – he added.

Trump said nevertheless that Zelanski's statement is provocative and hinders the end of the war.

“He has nothing to brag about! The situation of Ukraine is tragic – it can have peace or it can fight for the next three years before he loses the whole country. (…) Today's statement of Zelanski will do nothing except extending +death fields +, and nobody wants it!” – wrote the US president. He also assessed that he was very close to the agreement “and called Zelanski – whom he called” a man without playing cards ” – that he would” finally realize them “.

Trump's comment refers to Tuesday's statement by Zelanski from a press conference in Kiev, when the President of Ukraine excluded the legal recognition of the occupation of Crimea, indicating that this is contrary to the constitution of the country.

According to Axios portal, The recognition of Russian sovereignty over the Crimea – but by the US, not by Ukraine – is one of the points of the “final” American proposal given to Russia and Ukraine. The offer also assumes, among others Recognition – in fact, and not legally – the Russian occupation occupied by Russia, and the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Kharkiv region, ensuring free sailing on the Dnieper, compensation and the reconstruction of Ukraine, although without giving sources of funds for these purposes.

As he reported, among others “Washington Post”, the cool response of Kiev to the proposal meant that the Wednesday's talks in London did not go to the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, reducing the rank of negotiations.
