US President Donald Trump has said that Crimea will remain part of Russia and accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of prolonging the war by prolonging negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump said this in an interview with Time magazine, marking 100 days since he became president again, parts of which were published today.
"Everybody understands that it (Crimea) has been theirs (Russia's) for a long time. It was theirs long before I came to power," Trump said.
"They had their submarines there many years ago. People in Crimea mostly speak Russian. But this was given by Obama. This was not given by Trump," he added.
Trump also said that the US and Russia had very constructive talks, and that they were getting closer to an agreement.
