The European Union will never recognize the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula as legally Russian, the bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on April 22.
Kallas’ comments come in response to reports that the recognition of Crimea as Russian territory is being considered as part of a U.S.-backed proposal to end the war in Ukraine.
“Crimea is Ukraine,” Kallas told the AFP.
Who the fuck cares. You dint invade another country their are other ways to achieve the goal if they wanted to join Russia.
Russia cant compete economically, technologically, or diplomatically, all they have is violence and coercion, No one except chauvinists would ever -want- to join Russia, so if Russia wants someone to join them, they really only have one card, war.
