Kremlin slams President Zelensky’s comment on ‘liberating’ the territory, seized by Moscow in 2014
The Kremlin said on Thursday that Ukraine’s stated goal of retaking Crimea — which Moscow seized in 2014 — amounted to a “direct threat” to Russia, as tensions soar over Kiev’s conflict with pro-Russia separatists.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had said on Wednesday that Crimea was Ukrainian territory and Kiev’s goal was to “liberate” it.
He focused, however, on diplomatic solutions and made no mention of taking the peninsula by force.
