Senior official says Kyiv does not exclude liberation of occupied peninsula by military means.
Kyiv is willing to discuss the future of Crimea with Moscow if its forces reach the border of the Russian-occupied peninsula, a top adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told the Financial Times.
The comments by Andriy Sybiha, deputy head of Zelenskyy’s office, are the most explicit statement of Ukraine’s interest in negotiations since it cut off peace talks with the Kremlin last April.
“If we will succeed in achieving our strategic goals on the battlefield and when we will be on the administrative border with Crimea, we are ready to open [a] diplomatic page to discuss this issue,” Sybiha said, referring to Kyiv’s long-planned counteroffensive.
He added: “It doesn’t mean that we exclude the way of liberation [of Crimea] by our army.”

Ukrainian forces have recently stepped up their attacks on Russian military facilities in the peninsula, including land and sea-based drone assaults.
Kyiv is also hoping that its coming counteroffensive will make headway south — possibly through Zaporizhzhia province — and sever a land bridge that allows Russia to supply its invasion forces from Crimea.

The Soros Foundations have LOTS of jobs. They just move their operatives around.
At best, the Crimea situation would turn into a multi-decade revolt against Ukraine, like Northern Ireland.
Following Uncle Joe’s instructions to the letter good old silinsky
And that’s that. There can be no agreed resolution. There must be total defeat.
Neither side has the ability to impose that on the enemy.
Gutsy. Premature. At least a year off. Still gutsy.
Lolz that’s really all you have isn’t it?
You didn’t win many games as a kid did you?
No, but I can blow the brains out of a running coyote out past 1,000 yards.
Now that is impressive. I can usually put some dirt on one, while they stand still, at that range.

Running at 1000? Lolz
I’ve lived in the high desert and have lots of experience shooting at distance
You made that up or you must be one of the best in the world
I have the privilege of being married to one of the best shooting instructors in the world. He’s my spotter, too.
Which high desert did you live in? We’re out past Cody not far from Yellowstone.
yes, but if you made 1000 yard headshot on a running coyote intentionally that makes you one of the best shooters ever
Having done a fair amount of distance shooting and knowing some of the best there are (well known) i don’t buy this for a minute
Loping more than an outright run. They run if you miss the first time.
Do you do distance shooting? Only at fixed targets?
In any case, coyotes sometimes need to get shot and they don’t always cooperate by holding still for you although it’s nice when they do.
