Yesterday, January 30, the pro-Russian president of Croatia, Zoryan Milanovic, said that Crimea would never become part of Ukraine.. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko reacted to this, noting that Kyiv considers such statements unacceptable..

“I wonder if Zoran Milanovic could have become president of his country with such rhetoric in the 1990s, when Croatia was fighting to maintain its statehood.? Would his voters agree to close their eyes to the occupation of part of the territory of their country? I doubt it, - Nikolenko writes on his Facebook page.. - Let me remind you that due to external aggression, Croatia could lose a third of its lands.

However, thanks to the heroic struggle, the Croats were able to defend the independence of their state"

Despite the fact that Milanovic's statements are unacceptable, Nikolenko noted that Ukraine highly appreciates and thanks the government and people of this country "

Recall that in the fall, the Croatian government approved the training of the Ukrainian military on its territory, although President Zoran Milanovic was against. In response, the leader of the state suggested that Prime Minister Andriy Plenkovich himself go to fight in Ukraine.
