The press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov commented on Warsaw's proposal to transfer Crimea under the UN mandate. In his opinion, even the very formulation of this question is absurd.
The head of the Kremlin press service announced this to media representatives at a regular briefing.
This is a rather absurd formulation of the question.
- he said.
Dmitry Peskov explained that no region of the Russian Federation or Russian territory can be discussed as an object transferred by Russia to anyone. And there can be no discussions here.
This was the Kremlin's reaction to the proposal made by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski at an international conference in the Ukrainian capital. In his opinion, it would be right to hand over the Crimean peninsula and its inhabitants to a UN mandate, and then, 20 years later, hold an "honest" referendum among Crimeans on which country they want to be citizens of.
Sikorski explained that Crimea plays a major symbolic role for Russia. And for Kyiv, it is extremely important from a strategic point of view. That is why, the Polish official believes, the two states cannot resolve the Crimea issue on their own.
The speaker of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, considered Sikorski’s reasoning to be a manifestation of ignorance.
It is noteworthy that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also reacted negatively to the Polish initiative. They stated that the territorial integrity of Ukraine cannot be a topic for discussion.
