And while Crimea is under the Russian occupation, it means only one thing: War is not over yet,\u201d Zelenskyy, 45, said in the recent CNN interview.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Moscow took control of Crimea in 2014, and Zelenskyy did not become the country\u2019s president until 2019. Prior to 2019, he was still acting and performing as an entertainer. <\/p>\n<p>When asked if he felt there could be a \u201cvictory and peace\u201d scenario in which Crimea is not part of Ukraine, the former actor said, \u201cThere will not be victory there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, it followed the overthrow and exile of Ukraine\u2019s pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych.<\/p>\n<p>The vital Black Sea peninsula had been part of Ukraine since 1954, before Russia\u2019s annexation, which was criticized by the U.S. and its allies. Despite Ukrainian efforts to reduce water supplies and undermine Moscow\u2019s influence, Russia has maintained a tight hold on the peninsula in the years afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy has maintained that liberating Crimea is critical to finishing the conflict, perhaps bolstered by Ukraine\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hollywood-studios-delay-release-of-blockbuster-films-again\/\" title=\"Hollywood Studios Delay Release Of Blockbuster Films\u2026 Again\">impressive performance<\/a> against Russia on the battlefield. However, the country\u2019s impressive performance can be attributed to the $75 billion and additional weapons, tanks, and other supplies that the U.S. has given Ukraine since the war began. <\/p>\n<p>On top of American aid, a plethora of other European countries, Japan, Canada, and more have similarly sent money, weapons, or supplies as well.<\/p>\n<p>Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner mercenary group\u2019s commander, ordered his soldiers to march on Moscow last month, throwing Russia\u2019s military into confusion.<\/p>\n<p>The mutiny was launched in purported protest of the Ministry of Defense\u2019s plans to integrate the paramilitary organization into the regular army, and it came after Prigozhin claimed that a Russian attack had killed some of his soldiers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe see Putin\u2019s reaction. It\u2019s weak,\u201d Zelenskyy mused on the abortive coup. \u201cFirstly, we see he doesn\u2019t control everything. Wagner is moving deep into Russia and taking certain regions shows how easy it is to do. Putin doesn\u2019t control the situation in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cHis whole army is in Ukraine,\u201d the Ukrainian leader added. \u201cWe understand that Putin doesn\u2019t control the regional policy, and he doesn\u2019t control all those people in the region. So all that vertical of power he used to have just got crumbling down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to reports, Prigozhin eventually negotiated an agreement with the Kremlin, mediated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-whitmer-media-caught-in-another-lie-anarchist-arrested-for-plot-to-kidnap-and-kill-whitmer-hates-president-trump-trump-is-a-tyrant-video\/\" title=\"Gov.

He then agreed to an apparent exile in a nearby nation.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian president also expressed his anger regarding rumors that he met with CIA Director William Burns last month.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI was surprised to see the information in some media, both in the US and Ukrainian and European media.
