President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed the hope to “return” Crimea to the republic, as it was previously possible to return it to the world agenda. He talked about this during the New Year's greetings to fellow citizens, published on his Telegram channel.
The head of state recalled the Crimean Platform summit, at which 46 participating countries spoke in favor of the peninsula being under the jurisdiction of Kiev.
“We are not waiting for the world to solve our problems and someone will return our land to us for us. We can say: we have returned Crimea to the world agenda, so that someday we can say: we have returned Crimea to Ukraine, ”Zelensky stressed.
Earlier, a study by Active Group showed that almost half of Ukrainians believe in the return of Crimea to the country. The respondents were asked whether Ukraine will be able to return Crimea. According to the poll results, 46.1 percent hoped for the return of the peninsula. Of these, 4.3 percent believe that this will happen soon, and 41.8 percent – in the long term. 33.2 percent believe that Crimea will remain part of Russia. One fifth of the respondents found it difficult to answer.
