The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine considers the statement of the President of Croatia, who said that Crimea will never be Ukrainian again, unacceptable.

"It's worth considering whether Zoran Milanović could have become president of his country with such rhetoric in the 1990s, when Croatia was fighting for its independence? Whether his voters could agree to close their eyes to the occupation of part of their country? I doubt that. Let me remind you that Croatia could have lost a third of its land because of foreign aggression. However, due to heroic fighting, the Croatians managed to defend the sovereignty of their state," said Oleh Nikolenko, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine considers the statement of the Croatian President, who practically questioned Ukraine's territorial integrity, unacceptable. 

"Instead, we highly appreciate and express our gratitude to the Croatian government and the people of Croatia for their unwavering support of Ukrainians in the fight against Russian aggression," Nikolenko added.

Croatian President Zoran Milanović, who is well-known for his anti-Ukraine statements, has urged that the situation in Kosovo not be compared to the annexation of Crimea, declaring that Crimea will never be Ukrainian again.
