website of the President of Ukraine
German readers from Die Zeit commented on the statement made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Crimean Platform Forum. Recall that Zelenskyj announced a “countdown” of the “return” of Crimea to Ukraine. The Russian side has criticized the forum – for example, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called it a “Sabbath.”
The heads of 15 countries participated in the “Crimean platform”. He is the leader of the Baltic countries, Poland, Slovakia and other Eastern European countries.
German readers expressed skepticism about Ukraine's possibility of regaining the peninsula and advised that they took the loss of Crimea for granted and take a closer look at new opportunities. “East Prussia will also never return to Germany – no matter how long 'forever yesterday' he could continue to dream of his return,” said one user of the analogy.
Many have noted that Russia has made a right by fulfilling the will of the people and annexing Crimea. “With all my will, how should this happen?” Will Russia return to Crimea? Just? Apparently, the actor and the comedian started talking to the Ukrainian president again, “the Germans write.
Readers also criticized Zelensky's statement, which said at the forum that Russia had turned Crimea from a resort to an army base. They stressed that the military base in Crimea has existed for 250 years and at that time Ukrainians did not even think of considering something separate from the Russians.
