Trump Weighs Recognizing Crimea as Russian Territory

“The Trump administration is considering recognizing Ukraine’s Crimea region as Russian territory as part of any future agreement to end Moscow’s war on Kyiv,” Semafor reports.

“Administration officials have also discussed the possibility of having the US urge the United Nations to do the same… Such a request would align the Trump administration with the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long seen Crimea as his nation’s territory.”
