Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday — once again — said that he plans to retake Crimea.
“We will definitely liberate Crimea,” he said.
“We will return this part of our country not only to the all-Ukrainian space, but also to the all-European space,” he said, according to The Hill. “This was confirmed once again today. And I am grateful to all our partners — almost 50 states and international organizations — who help in the parliamentary format.”
Zelensky addressed leaders virtually at a summit in Croatia and said his country is getting closer by the day to take back Crimea.
“The return of the Ukrainian flag to Crimea is the return of the normality familiar to all Europeans, as it is available in each of your countries,” Zelensky said. “Security normality, economic, legal, social, cultural.”
Last August, Zelensky said the conflict with Russia will only end after Kyiv liberates Crimea, which was annexed by Moscow in 2014. He said at the time: “Crimea is Ukrainian, and we’ll never give up on it.”

Zelensky’s remarks on Crimea are in stark contrast to what he said at the beginning of the war. He said earlier that Ukraine could accept a peace deal if Russian forces returned to their pre-invasion positions.
WHY IS THE U.S. PAYING?
Warmonger politicians in the U.S. are working on another $50 billion aid package for Ukraine is being discussed in Congress just before the Midterms that—if passed—would bring total U.S. support for Ukraine to over $115 billion.
One Republican senator told NBC News that the funding would ensure that “Ukraine survives the year,” and could be snuck in before the chance of Republicans winning seats in the House and Senate.

“It’ll make the $12 billion look like pocket change,” the Republican said.
The Biden administration has said that it is providing Ukraine with nearly unlimited support to turn back the Russian invaders. Nobody said anything about land that was lost back in 2014.
TRENDPOST: In the Spring of 2014, Hillary Clinton compared Crimea 2014 to Czechoslovakia 1930 and said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions were like ‘what Hitler did back in the ’30s’.
And Vice President Biden at the time—managing to ignore that over 80 percent of Crimeans turned out to vote, with over 95 percent voting “yes” to reestablish its centuries-long union with Russia, in what international observers called a fair and clean election process. He declared it to be “blatant, blatant violation of international law … nothing more than a land grab.”
Russia did not attack Crimea in 2014. The Russian military already had a presence there. Under a lease agreement (which did not expire until 2047), negotiated when Russia granted independence to Ukraine, its Black Sea Fleet is based at Sevastopol port in Crimea.
Furthermore, Crimea would likely still be a part of Ukraine if the U.S. had not orchestrated a coup to overthrow the government of the democratically elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. (See “WASHINGTON IS DRIVING THE WORLD TO THE FINAL WAR,” 28 Apr 2014).
It was Crimean’s who voted overwhelmingly—by 95 percent—to rejoin Russia, but it is internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory. The Kremlin sees Crimea as theirs.
Crimea had been part of Ukraine only since 1954, when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, designated it as such. In fact, Crimea has been part of Russia longer than the United States has been a country.
So no forms then to send Congress to The U.N, Peace Office to be recruited as oesce jeepers abd sent say to Somalia where Joint Special Forces Command had troops in 1990s and perhaps in 2001 with Bullshit On Terror War about oil grabbing. The U.N. Peace Office can receive tax donation direct from Walmart tills or more direct to Occupy Oesce,com to build a pesce force as goals the same a local one with U.N. pesce keeping on natiinal level. Perhaps brochures as option in U.S. recruitment offices which lack of us shy having trouble maintaining recruitment quotas. A guarantee not corporate cannon fodder anywhere.
As you said Congress should get in military drag then say 20 dollar U.N hats easy fo come by and as peace the goal combat not so Essenial though training is part of being a U.N Pesce keeper. Abd perhaps as part a brown lunch bag fir Lindsey to fight his way out of.
