Blinken: liberation of Crimea is the will of Ukrainians

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive will begin in the coming weeks, and Washington will support the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As for the liberation of Crimea, this decision should be made by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the head of state. At the same time, he should take into account the will of Ukrainians.

“Ukraine is a democratic country. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is responsible for leading the country… But he must also be open to the will of Ukrainians,” Blinken said. This was reported by Tagesschau.

Blinken also noted that the United States will continue to provide Ukraine not only with military assistance, but also support in the development of its medium- and long-term potential.
