Ukraine may be willing to negotiate with Russia over the future of Crimea if Ukrainian forces could reach the border of the Russian-controlled peninsula in their much-anticipated spring counteroffensive, a top official in Kyiv reportedly said.
Andrii Sybiha, deputy head of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, on Wednesday told the Financial Times that Kyiv may reopen a discussion about Crimea it called off a year ago, depending on the outcome of the upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive in southern Ukraine.
