Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has commented on his proposal to place Crimea under a UN mandate, which has caused outrage in Ukraine. This is reported by Komersant ukrainskyi
with reference to the PAP edition .
“At the conference, there was a hypothetical discussion among experts off the record, where we considered how to implement President Zelensky’s proposals on how to return Crimea. He talked about diplomatic actions,” Sikorski told reporters.
At the same time, the Polish Foreign Minister stressed that Warsaw supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
“Poland certainly supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine, there is no doubt about it, and I have repeatedly emphasised this,” Sikorski said at a briefing for Polish media in Washington.
He also commented on reports of a “dispute” between him and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, including the Volyn crime and the exhumation of the victims.
“We support Ukraine militarily, we support Ukraine financially and humanitarianly, but, as it happens between neighbours, sometimes there are issues that need to be resolved, and we are talking about this, too,” the minister said.
As a reminder, Sikorsky said that Crimea plays a crucial role in the issue of possible peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. Therefore, one of the options for resolving the issue of the peninsula could be to place it under a UN mandate and hold a referendum there in 20 years.
