Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to restore Ukrainian rule in Crimea during an international online summit on Tuesday.
Speaking on a panel alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda, Zelensky outlined his country’s ambitions to regain power on the peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.
“To overcome terror, to restore predictability and security to our region, Europe and the entire world, we must win, to win the fight against Russian aggression. And therefore we need to free Crimea from occupation. It all started in Crimea and will end in Crimea, and that will be an effective rebirth of the international legal order,” Zelensky told the summit.
The president stressed that for Ukrainians, Crimea “is not just some territory” or even a “figure in the geopolitical game”.
“For Ukraine, Crimea is part of our people, our society, a community of people to whom we guarantee freedom,” he continued.
The Ukrainian president also said Crimea has become “a military platform of aggression and the spread of grief”, referencing the 750 different cruise missiles he said the Russians have launched from Crimea since the invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. .
