"Crimea is Ukraine," the European Commission has said amid reports that the United States has presented a new proposal to Kyiv and Moscow that would see "de jure" recognition of the peninsula that Russia illegally annexed in 2014.
The one-page document, according to Axios and the Telegraph, also includes America's "de facto" recognition of most of the territories that Russia has occupied in its full-scale invasion: Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and nearly all of Luhansk.
