President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the issue of the de-occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea should be resolved in a diplomatic format after the cessation of hostilities, possibly in ten years. “We do not trade our territory. Therefore, issues of territorial integrity and sovereignty are out of the question. There are complex issues regarding the temporarily occupied territories. There are fundamental difficulties that we are ready to remove from the agenda, such as the issue of Crimea. We are ready to talk about the Crimean issue. The issue of the de-occupation of Crimea should be resolved in a diplomatic format, perhaps in ten years,” the head of state said in an interview for Fox News. He stressed that on a global scale, this issue “should be resolved, for example, as follows: cessation of the war, and then diplomatic steps.”
