In the context of legal and ideological disputes around the cessation of the Russian war on Ukraine supposedly using diplomacy, there appear to be constant, stubborn efforts to remove Crimea from the framework of the discussion. Moreover, this is being done, not just in the West, but even among Ukraine’s top politicians, some of whom say, “First Donbas and the Minsk accords, and then, at some point later, Crimea...”
At his meeting with US President Trump in Helsinki, Russian President Putin decided to “shut up” the US by announcing that the issue of Crimea was closed once and for all. History has seen many such pronouncements. In soviet times, it was considered an unquestionable truth that the USSR would survive until worldwide communism was established, but in fact it lasted less than 70 years. The Third Reich was called “millennial,” but its millennium lasted all of 13 years.
