The United States can not reconcile itself to the loss of Ukraine in the Crimea, as with it they lost the strategic region for deploying military bases near the very border of Russia.Naturally, Washington will try its best to bring it back to its place.
This was stated directly by the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during a speech at the Atlantic Council in Washington. He voiced the intentions of the United States to challenge the present membership of the Crimea of Russia, up to an unconditional return to Ukraine.Tillerson noted that he was aware that Russian President Vladimir Putin ruled out the issue on the Crimea from the possibility of discussion, but immediately made it clear that the States consider this a short-term taboo. True, it was said that the White House now has the problem of settling the armed conflict on Donbass, which he called violence by Russia.
Regarding this statement, the Kremlin gave a clear and comprehensive answer to the American "peacekeeper." President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Crimea was joined to Russia by the results of the general referendum and on a completely voluntary basis. He also added that the President of Russia gave a clear message to the world community that the issue of Crimea is an internal issue of the Russian state, of which he is a part.
