00:00So Zelensky says Erdogan agrees that Crimea is Ukrainian territory.
00:06Crimea has been a massive sticking point in reaching a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
00:12And from my previous conversation, we know that this is a complex set of negotiations.
00:19What do you make of these comments from Erdogan?
00:22I think Erdogan, President Erdogan, has been very outspoken about this from the onset.
00:32We've, as Turkey, we've never accepted the annexation of Crimea.
00:38Crimea is part and parcel of Ukraine.
00:41And no matter what happens in the ceasefire negotiations, Crimea will be part of those negotiations.
00:47But as President Zelensky stated today, it's not up for negotiation.
00:54It's a sovereign part of Ukraine, and it will remain as such.
00:57And this is the way President Erdogan also sees it.
