Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine war must end with liberation of Crimea

Volodymyr Zelensky has said the war in Ukraine must end with the liberation of Crimea.

In his evening address on Tuesday (9 August), the Ukrainian president said Russia has turned the peninsula into "one of the most dangerous places in Europe" when it was formally one of the "best".

"Crimea is Ukrainian and we will never give it up," Mr Zelensky said.

"This Russian war against Ukraine and against the entire free Europe began with Crimea and must end with Crimea - with its liberation."

The Ukraine war is not on the front news anymore, why is that?

Zelensky should not abuse cocaine that much. Moderation is the key.

Elensky said in an interview, “People suffering in the West from recession and hyper inflation is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!” 🤔

Elensky how is your administration doing? Did you make peace and your people wealthier? Or just a very small group of "your people"?

[thetriggeringofthesnowflak]

Just imagine how much better off we would all be without the Wuhan Lab and this needless conflict?

Elensky, you forget what Kissinger once said!
"To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal".

looking at this war I really think that respecting Minsk agreement would be far far better for the people of Ukraine

[charliebrandt]

What's wrong with him? Crimea voted to join the Russian federation, so do not want to be 'liberated'. He is just finding excuses for carrying the war to Crimea. Obviously he does not care who dies in this pointless fight. He needs to make a settlement with Russia, if only to save lives. Ukraine appears to have lost the war. Time to end the conflict...

Russia is occupying over 20% of your territory excluding Crimea which is not yours, 😂😂, so first go and get your 20% back😂😂…then think about Crimea….

Russians are not stupid, they are having allied forces complete this small job, the major fight will happen ob Kherson and Odessa, and Putin is probably having his combat ready forces getting ready for it….

[lavague]

Lool. He is not in a position to claim land from russians. Nice commedian.

Things are going well in Crimea, Elenesky. Better than it was in Ukraine. As a resident of Crimea, I can confirm. Don't touch us, leave us alone, clown🤡

[guff]

What a joker. But actually, what he means, is that there'll be NO END to the bloodshed

[brandyalvarez]

Crimea is well over 60 percent ethnic Russian. Wtf are they thinking? This is just dumb.

[saanstarantolin]

I think it is not very wise, just more disasters.. i just can't imagine ... 😔 ...

[Yourbrightspot]

War will continue till the last ukranian very logical. While losing territory daily.

Zelensky is a great reason to not do drugs.
