Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State, gave an interview to Funke Mediengruppe. The question touched the Crimea.
“The decision to return Crimea should be made by President Volodymyr Zelensky, as the head of state, taking into account the will of the Ukrainians,” Blinken replied. Tagesschau quotes his:
“Ukraine is a democratic country. President Volodymyr Zelensky is responsible for leading the country… But he must also be open to the will of Ukrainians.”
According to the Secretary of State, in common with many other countries, the United States is ready to help Ukraine protect its sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, and return the occupied parts of the country. Blinken noted:
“That includes a counter-offensive that is likely to start in the coming weeks.”
Speaking recently in the US Congress, he suggested that Ukraine would probably not return all territories by military means. At the same time, Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, said on April 6 that Ukraine would not make concessions to Russia on the issue of Crimea.
