Zelensky's Position on Crimea
April 25, 2025
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Crimea belongs to Ukraine, responding indirectly to Donald Trump. This comment came after Trump said that Crimea will remain with Russia. Zelensky emphasized that only the Ukrainian people have the right to decide on their territory. Crimea has been illegally annexed by Russia since 2014, and Ukraine continues to reject any recognition of this claim.
