Foreign Ministry tells how Ukraine can fire Crimea

This was said by First Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Japarova in an interviewwith Ukrinform.

She stressed that the decision on the return of temporarily occupied Crimea would be made by Ukraine.

It seems to me that today we have both ways - military and diplomatic. And they are both relevant. For example, Croatia, when there was a war in the 1990s, returned two thirds of its territory by military means, and one third by diplomatic means," Dzhaparova said.

She said Ukraine should take into account the "Crimean lesson" of 2014 and act decisively. And also not to put off the Crimean issue "for later", as some countries advise.
