The president in Kenya about Crimea

The president was asked at a news conference in Nairobi about talks about Russian aggression against Ukraine and his loud statement on Crimea, in which he said the peninsula “if we look historically, was under Russian control most of the time.”

– When it comes to our position on Russian aggression against Ukraine and how the war should end, it is the restoration of the primacy of international law. – This means the return of Ukraine to its internationally recognized borders, to full control over the areas that are internationally recognized territories of Ukraine, including Crimea, he said.

– I want to strongly emphasize this, because let us not forget that the Russian aggression against Ukraine, which actually started in 2014, started, among other things: since the occupation of Crimea. And this occupation of Crimea is still ongoing, he added.

According to Duda, “Russia must leave the occupied territories of Ukraine,” while Ukraine must “regain control over all internationally recognized territories.” – This should be the end of this war, so that international law is respected as a guarantee of peace in the future – the president said, adding that “Russia cannot win this war.”
