The European Union will never recognize the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula as legally Russian, the bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on April 22.
Kallas’ comments come in response to reports that the recognition of Crimea as Russian territory is being considered as part of a U.S.-backed proposal to end the war in Ukraine.
“Crimea is Ukraine,” Kallas told the AFP.
What does the people living in Crimea want?
The “referendum” they conducted was not at all an accurate representation of the resident’s opinions.
Are you trying to say that you trust literally any electoral mechanisms administered by Russia at this point?
They didn’t say anything they asked a question
Who the fuck cares. You dint invade another country their are other ways to achieve the goal if they wanted to join Russia.
My sibling in Christ we do not tell people their own identity they get to decide for themselves?
Why in the fuck are you getting downvoted for this more than reasonable question???
Because it isn’t a reasonable question, it is a russian propaganda question that leads to “but they voted to join Russia” which you then need to counter further with “with literal soldiers standing there and checking your ballot for the right answer”.
I don’t understand why Russias illegitimate referendum gives the EU the authority to decide tho?
It’s on brand for people who unironically refer to Russian conscripts as ‘Orks’ without any sense of irony.
