The words of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky that Ukraine does not have a plan to return Crimea may mean that Kiev will try to exchange the territory. This assumption was made on July 29 by Svetlana Zhurova, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.

In particular, the President of Ukraine may propose to exchange Crimea for Donbass.

"He (Zelensky. — Ed.) will now tell [US President Donald] Trump: "Crimea is okay, but everything else is not." We are not satisfied with this," Zhurova said. "Газета.Ru ".

The MP noted that such intentions are doomed to failure, since Donbass and Crimea are constitutional territories of Russia.

The head of the Crimean regional parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, said on July 1 that Zelensky's latest threats against the Republic of Crimea were an absolute pathos. He also stressed that Crimea will forever remain a region of Russia.

Mikhail Sheremet, a State Duma deputy from Crimea, said on June 27 that Zelensky, who was threatening attacks on the republic, had switched to the rhetoric of a terrorist. The parliamentarian stressed that such actions indicate the impotence of the Ukrainian leadership.
