The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, in an effort to end the war between Russia and Ukraine that has now entered its third year.
The news was reported by the Semafor newspaper, citing several sources, according to which Donald Trump has not yet made a decision.
According to the same sources, the Trump administration has considered the possibility of the United States pressuring the UN to do the same and recognize Crimea as Russian territory.
A phone call between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is expected today, which could change the fate of this conflict.
In a recent post on social media, Donald Trump said that "many elements of a final deal" for peace in Ukraine have been agreed upon, although "much remains to be done."
Trump added that he was "looking forward" to a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. "Thousands of young soldiers are dying: it has to end," he concluded. (A2 Televizion)
