Washington supports Ukraine's strikes on Russian military facilities in Crimea – Nuland

KYIV. Feb 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The United States does not recognize Crimea as Russian territory and considers it Ukrainian, in this regard, they support Ukraine’s strikes on Russian military facilities on the peninsula, said U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.

She said, speaking at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, that Russia had built a lot of military installations in Crimea, adding that the strikes that Ukraine inflicts are legitimate, and the USA support this.

Nuland noted that at least without the demilitarization of Crimea, Ukraine will not be safe and demilitarization should become part of sustainable deterrence.
