The Russian offensive on free Europe began with the annexation of Crimea and will end with its liberation, the president believes.
Russian occupiers in Ukrainian Crimea< /strong> threaten not only national, but also European security. The Black Sea region cannot be safe while the peninsula remains under Russian occupation, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized during his evening address.
“Russia has turned our peninsula into one of the most dangerous places. The presence of Russian occupiers in Crimea is a threat to all of Europe and global stability. The Black Sea region cannot be safe while Crimea is occupied,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
As long as the occupier uses the peninsula as its military base, there will be no stable and lasting peace in many countries on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, he emphasized.< /p>
“This Russian war against Ukraine and against the whole of free Europe began with Crimea and must end with Crimea – its liberation,” concluded the head of state.
