(Baonghean.vn) - On February 21, Yuri Gempel, head of the Crimean parliament's Committee for International Relations and People's Foreign Affairs, said that the peninsula does not need recognition and favors from Washington.

Previously, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Washington was not considering the option of recognizing Crimea's annexation by Russia or Donbass's independence to prevent a "great war".

"Crimea is a legitimate and inseparable part of the Russian Federation, the people of Crimea do not need recognition and favors from the Americans," said Mr. Gempel. Regarding Donbass, he emphasized that he had visited Donetsk and Lugansk many times.

"The people of these two people's republics are defending their land and their children, and the Kiev government's failure to comply with the Minsk agreements threatens the very existence of Ukraine. In Europe, there are more and more sane voices criticizing the aggressive policies of the United States, NATO and Ukraine," he said.

Amid speculations about Russia’s impending invasion of Ukraine, Western countries have increased military aid to the country. Specifically, on February 4, Canada sent a transport plane carrying non-lethal weapons to Ukraine. Previously, the Canadian government decided to provide 340 million USD in emergency aid to Kiev. Since the beginning of the year, the US has provided military aid to the country many times. The Czech Republic also plans to send 152 mm heavy artillery shells to Ukraine./.
