Duda doubted in Crimea's de -occupation: Ambassador of Ukraine reacted (video)

The Ukrainian Embassy reminded the Polish President that the release of the peninsula is "a common task and obligation to the world. " Polish President Andrzej Duda stated that he was not sure whether Ukraine will be able to restore control of the Crimea temporarily occupied by Russia, but believes that it would return Donetsk and Lugansk. About it reports Reuters.

The publication emphasized that Warsaw was one of the "most rich supporters" of Kiev after a full -scale invasion, and stated that Ukraine should restore control of its entire territory in order to restrain Moscow from further aggression. President Duda confirmed the relevant position during an interview on Kanal Zero's YouTube channel on Friday, February 2.

However, when he was asked if he believed that Ukraine would really be able to return Crimea, he said, "It is difficult for me to answer this question. " "I do not know if Crimea will return (Ukraine), but I believe that it will return Donetsk and Lugansk," Duda says. According to him, the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia occupied in 2014, "is a special place . . . also for historical reasons.

" Because, if we look historically, it was in the hands of Russia most of the time, "the President of Poland added. According to the publication, the statements of the Polish President were criticized by deputies from the ruling pro -European coalition of Poland. Roman Gerich's largest group in the Civic Coalition government was also criticized by the Polish MP from the Law and Justice Party and Radoslav Fogel. He wrote.

Ukrainian Ambassador Vasyl Zvarych in X (Twitter) responded to the words of the Polish President and assured that Ukraine inevitably decouples the peninsula. He noted that "Crimea is Ukraine: it will be so. " "International law is the basis. The temporary occupation of Crimea by Russia is the war crime for which it will be punished. The de -occupation of the Crimea is our common task and duty. We will do it undoubtedly. We believe and act together," the diplomat said.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorsky emphasized after the statement of Duda about Crimea that Poland recognizes Ukraine's independence in its internationally established borders. "Poland recognizes the independence of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, which have been repeatedly confirmed by the Russian Federation: since the treaty of November 19, 1990, the Budapest Memorandum of December 5, 1994 and the Border Treaty of January 28, 2003," Sikorsky said.
