Russian MP Sergey Mironov emphasizes that Russia's special military operation is not aimed at acquiring new territories but at asserting control over Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya. He argues that the recent focus on recognition of Crimea by Western leaders indicates a misunderstanding of Russia's position. Mironov insists that for any dialogue to occur, military assistance to Ukraine must cease, and Ukraine's sovereignty should be negotiated on Russia's terms, prioritizing lasting peace over territorial recognition.
Russia launched a special military operation not for territorial expansion, but to assert its position on Crimea and other regions without discussion.
Recognition of Crimea is a test of the West’s willingness to engage in dialogue with Russia, but it is not a resolution of the conflict.
