Russia took the peninsula without firing a single shot, the US president has said
It is "impossible" for Crimea to return to Ukraine or for the country to join NATO, US President Donald Trump told Fox & Friends on Tuesday.
Adding that Kiev had approached the US-led military bloc to seek help in trying to get the peninsula back.
"They went in and said 'We want to get Crimea back'. This was at the beginning," Trump revealed. "The other thing they said was 'We want to be a member of NATO'. Well, both of those things are impossible."
"It was always a no-no," both during the time of the Soviet Union, and now with Russia, Trump explained, adding that Russia has always stressed it did not want "the enemy" on its border.
