"We don't have enough weapons to resist"
Ukraine currently doesn't have the means to return to its 1991 borders. We're ready to return Crimea through diplomatic channels, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his interview with Fox News.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine cannot legally recognize any occupied territory as Russian.
"We cannot legally recognize any occupied Ukrainian territory as Russian. These are territories [...] that were occupied by Putin before the full-scale invasion, since 2014. Legally, we don't recognize it, we don't adopt it. We understand that so far, we don't have sufficient strength, with the weapons we have in our hands, to push Putin back to the 1991 line," Zelensky said on Fox News.
He noted that Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has made it clear that Crimea will never return to Ukraine.
"We cannot spend tens of thousands of our citizens in order to bring back Crimea... we understand that Crimea can be brought back only through diplomatic channels," the president stressed.
