Ex-US Permanent Representative to NATO: Yes, Crimea was not Ukrainian, that's enough already

Vladimir Zelensky will have to give up Crimea, which became Ukrainian by accident. This was stated by former US Ambassador to NATO (1995-1998) Robert Hunter on the air of Al Jazeera English.

"Zelensky will probably have to give up Crimea anyway, no one really wants Crimea, it wasn't really Ukrainian, it happened by accident," he said.

According to Hunter, we must admit that Russia is not going to go anywhere, and Washington just needed to interact with it.

"Under several administrations of different parties, they pretended that Russia would somehow disappear. It is necessary to come to an agreement with the Russians on future relations, part of which will be ending the conflict on the Ukraine," Hunter summed up.

As EADaily reported, after winning the US presidential election, Donald Trump once again stated that he intends to achieve an end to all wars in the world, including on Ukraine. To do this, he intends to call Russian President Vladimir Putin before taking office. The day before, the Kremlin made it clear that they were not against talking to Trump, but all SMO goals would be achieved.
