The Trump administration is reportedly considering recognizing Crimea as part of Russia in a potential peace deal to end the war in Ukraine, with discussions also involving the United Nations.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering a controversial move to recognize Crimea as part of Russia in a potential peace deal to end the war in Ukraine, according to a report by Semafor. Citing unnamed sources, the news outlet said U.S. officials have discussed pushing the United Nations to follow suit, although the White House has not commented on the matter.
This potential shift in U.S. policy comes amid ongoing peace talks, with President Donald Trump set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to convince him to accept a ceasefire and take steps toward resolving the three-year-old conflict.
While Crimea is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine, Russia annexed the peninsula in 2014, and the Kremlin insists the issue is "closed forever." Ukraine, on the other hand, maintains that it wants Crimea back, although it has acknowledged that reclaiming it by force isn't feasible in the short term.
Trump has not yet made any formal decisions, and these discussions are still in the early stages, with multiple options on the table. If this move were to happen, it could drastically change the international landscape, as it would challenge long-standing territorial claims and set the stage for a potential shift in global diplomacy regarding the war in Ukraine.
