On April 26th, Ukrainian President Zelensky responded to US President Trump’s statement that “Crimea should belong to Russia” and emphasized that Ukraine’s position has not changed, and only the Ukrainian people have the right to decide which territories belong to Ukraine. Ukraine will never legally recognize any temporarily occupied territories as belonging to Russia. According to the report of Time magazine on April 25 local time, US President Trump said in an interview that as part of the peace proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Crimea will stay in Russia, and Ukrainian President Zelensky “understands this”. The United States has recently expressed its intention to “withdraw from mediation” and frequently exerted pressure on both Russia and Ukraine, especially calling on Ukraine to accept the so-called “peace proposal” of the United States, which includes Ukraine’s recognition of Crimea’s belonging to Russia and Ukraine’s non accession to NATO.
