Ukrainian leaders and representatives of the Crimean Tatar people have strongly rejected any international attempts to recognize Crimea as part of Russia.
The chairman of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis emphasized that only Ukraine and the indigenous Crimean Tatars have the right to decide Crimea's fate. President Zelensky reaffirmed that recognizing Crimea as Russian is unconstitutional and non-negotiable. There are concerns that foreign powers, including the US under Trump, are testing Ukraine's resolve by suggesting possible territorial concessions for peace.
Ukrainian officials warn that such discussions play into Russia's hands and undermine Ukraine's sovereignty.
