Peskov: "Trump's words about Crimea are fully consistent with the position of the Russian Federation"

US President Donald Trump's statements on Crimea's status fully coincide with Russia's position on this issue. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, at a briefing.

"This is fully consistent with our understanding and with everything that we have been saying for a long time," the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.

Earlier, Trump stated that the words of Volodymyr Zelensky, published on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, that Ukraine does not recognize Crimea as Russian, are harmful to the negotiations, since "Crimea was lost (by Ukraine) years ago and this issue is not even a subject of discussion."
