Advisor to newly elected US President Donald Trump Brian Lanza said that the administration of the new US leader will focus on ending hostilities in Ukraine, rather than returning the territories occupied by Russia.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the BBC.
At the same time, he noted that this also applies to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
«And if President Zelensky sits down at the negotiating table and says we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he will show us he is not serious about this… When Zelensky says we will stop this fighting, that peace will only come when Crimea is returned, we have news for President Zelensky: Crimea is gone», the official emphasized.
As Brian noted, today the return of Crimea is unrealistic and “is not a U.S. goal,” so Ukraine should temporarily forget about it. But, according to Trump's adviser, the U.S. priority is “peace and an end to the killing.”
«We want to tell Ukraine: do you know what you see? What do you see as a realistic vision of the world? It is not a vision of victory, but it is a vision of peace. And let's start an honest conversation,' he said.
Recall that earlier it was reported what the strategy for winning the war with the Russian Federation should be: Zaluzhny's explanation.
