The US president has claimed that even Zelensky understands the peninsula will remain under Moscow’s control in a final settlement.
The Crimean Peninsula will remain a part of Russia under a final settlement of the Ukraine conflict, US President Donald Trump has said in an interview with Time Magazine published on Friday.
Crimea officially joined the Russian Federation in 2014 after a referendum that followed a Western-backed coup in Kiev. Ukraine and its backers have dismissed the results of the referendum as illegitimate, and Kiev has continued to claim sovereignty over the peninsula, vowing to take it back by any means necessary.
In an interview with Time Magazine to mark his first 100 days in office, Trump said Crimea “went to the Russians” long ago and suggested that “everyone understands” that Ukraine will not be able to get it back.
“Crimea will stay with Russia” under a final settlement of the Ukraine conflict, Trump went on to say, adding that even Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky understands this. “It’s been with them for a long time,” the US president stated, noting that Russia had its submarines there “long before any period that we’re talking about” and that the majority of Crimeans speak Russian.
Trump also stressed that the peninsula was “given” to Russia by former US President Barack Obama, claiming that the whole conflict is “Obama’s war,” which “should have never happened.”
Since returning to office in January, Trump has been pressuring both Moscow and Kiev to settle the conflict. During last year’s election campaign, he said he would end the hostilities “within 24 hours” of entering the White House. He told Time, however, that he said this “figuratively” as an “exaggeration.”
Very True, Mr. Trump…as those living there VOTED to re-join the Russian Federation. And-
Those votes were monitored by International Poll Observers, and the election to re-join was totally legitimate, legal, and fair.
BUT WAIT, MR. TRUMP-
There were also elections in the Donbass Regions of eastern Ukraine, which were predominately Russian in ethnicity, culture and language.
Their populations were Russian Orthodox Christians, which the little J3wi$h Ukrainian Dick-tator tried to outlaw, along with the Russian culture and language in the eastern part of the Ukraine in the Oblasts.
THEY TOO VOTED TO JOIN RUSSIA AFTER 10 YEARS OF UKRAINIAN SHELLINGS, ASSASSINATIONS, AND SNIPING RESULTING IN 10,000 ETHNIC RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN DEATHS IN EASTERN UKRAINE! Ex-Pat American Reporter Patrick Lancaster covered these elections, and the MSM DID NOT!!!

Russia should not only keep and maintain the Donbass and Crimean Regions, but also the real estate east of the Dnipro River, thus insuring a natural buffer zone between the defeated Ukraine and Victorious Mother Russia!

YES, MR. TRUMP- CUT OFF ALL AID TO THE UKRAINE AND ISRAEL, AND USE THE U.S. ARMED FORCES TO STOP THE IDF FROM FURTHER GENOCIDES, WAR CRIMES, AND HOLODOMORS IN GAZA, THE WEST BANK, IN SYRIA AND LEBANON!
Then, dismiss those in your Cabinet who are J3wish, and become a Russian Orthodox Christian instead of being a J3w just to please the Kushners and your early J3wi$h-Bankster Buddies in NYC.
Convert today- then form an alliance with Russia! Do it today; you’ll be glad you did!
