Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin said that in the event of a reboot of the Putin regime, Western leaders could talk about a new world architecture and offer Ukraine to negotiate with the Russian Federation on joint control of Russian-occupied Crimea.

There is not a single pro-Ukrainian politician in Russia with whom you can talk about the unemployment of Crimea. This was stated by former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin in an interview with “Evropeyskaya Pravda” published on March 1.

“The last one was Boris Nemtsov, and you can argue how pro-Ukrainian he was. And who today? And what kind of Russia will it be when the regime reboots there? I’m afraid now through the prism [оппозиционера Алексея] Navalny will have a completely different view of us, including the issue of Crimea, “said the former minister.

According to him, in the event that the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin is restarted, Ukraine can be offered to make concessions in Crimea.

If we succeed in reestablishing the Putin regime, they may say, ‘You see, this is the new Russia. We are now moving towards a new world architecture. So, start talking to her about joint control of Crimea. You must find mutual understanding, there must return the Russians, the Ukrainians and the Crimean Tatars. Let’s do something new there, “Klimkin said.

According to him, this will happen under the control of Moscow, so this option is very dangerous for Ukraine.

Russia annexed Crimea and Sevastopol following an illegal referendum on March 16, 2014. Previously, from February 23 to 24, under pressure from pro-Russian activists, the executive authorities of Sevastopol were replaced. On March 11, the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Sevastopol City Council approved a “declaration of independence”.

Ukraine and most of the countries of the world do not recognize the annexation of the peninsula to the Russian Federation. At the moment, there is a checkpoint regime between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, and Kiev de facto does not control the peninsula.
