“The plan to retake Crimea consists of 12 steps. The final step is the expected goal of the peninsula slipping out of the weakened hands of the Russian Federation, and we will retake it,” Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kuleba said, without specifying the previous 11 steps.
Kuleba also noted that the Munich Security Conference considered 12 steps to stabilize the situation in Donbass and expressed hope that the next similar event will also draw up such a strategy for Crimea.
Earlier, at the Age of Crimea 2020 forum, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced his intention to sign a decree recognizing February 26 as the Day of Resistance against the Occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol. He also called the recapture of Crimea an inseparable part of the Ukrainian state ideology, but admitted that this was not possible in the near future.
