The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine considers the statement of the President of Croatia, who said that Crimea will never be Ukrainian again, unacceptable. Source: Oleh Nikolenko, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, reported by European Pravda Quote: "It's worth considering whether Zoran Milanovi could have become president of his country with such rhetoric in the 1990s, when Croatia was fighting for its independence?

Whether his voters could agree to close their eyes to the occupation of part of their country? I doubt that. Let me remind you that Croatia could have lost a third of its land because of foreign aggression.

However, due to heroic fighting, the Croatians managed to defend the sovereignty of their state." Details: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine considers the statement of the Croatian President, who practically questioned Ukraine's territorial integrity, unacceptable.

Background: Croatian President Zoran Milanovi, who is well-known for his anti-Ukraine statements, has urged that the situation in Kosovo not be compared to the annexation of Crimea, declaring that Crimea will never be Ukrainian again.
