Crimea can only be restored to Ukraine through diplomacy, says Zelenskyy

Firstpost  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasised that reclaiming Crimea for Ukraine should be pursued through diplomatic efforts rather than military action Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, on Wednesday. AP Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged the Crimea peninsula, seized by Russia in 2014, would have to be restored to Ukrainian sovereignty through diplomacy. He again rejected any notion of ceding any territory already occupied by Moscow’s forces, saying Ukraine “cannot legally acknowledge any occupied territory of Ukraine as Russian”. Russia seized and annexed Crimea in 2014 after a popular uprising prompted a Russia-friendly president to flee the country and Russian proxies seized swathes of territory in Ukraine’s east.
