President of Ukraine Volodymyr ZelenskyMOSCOW, 8 Mar. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with the American ABC television channel, announced the possibility of discussing territorial issues. So, the head of state was asked if it was possible to recognize Crimea as part of Russia, and the DPR and LPR as independent republics.
"We can discuss issues related to the temporarily occupied territories and unrecognized republics, which no one except Russia has recognized, these pseudo-republics, we can find a compromise on the future fate of these territories. For me, the most important thing is how people who want to be part of Ukraine will live in these territories. Who in Ukraine wants to accept them? Therefore, the issue is much more complicated than just recognition",” Zelensky said.
He also called on Vladimir Putin to start negotiations and establish a dialogue. «/>Yanukovych appealed to Zelensky On the eve of the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow could «at one moment» stop a military special operation in Ukraine if Kyiv fulfills the conditions set: recognition of Crimea as Russian, recognition of the sovereignty of the DNR and LNR, as well as the establishment of a non-bloc status of Ukraine. Presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who heads the Russian delegation at the talks with Ukraine, expressed the hope that a solution would be found in the recognition of Crimea and Donbass. He explained that, according to representatives of Kyiv, «this is practically impossible,» but «there is a big difference between «impossible» and «practically impossible.» Russia on February 24 launched a special military operation to demilitarize Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» As emphasized in the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, nothing threatens the civilian population.
