According to him, this is evidenced by the frequent publication by Western media of maps where the peninsula is designated as Russian territory. According to him, the election of Ukraine as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council will not bring success, either.
“Recently, two major agencies – French and English – published atlases in which Crimea is already listed as a territory of the Russian Federation. This is not a mistake, but an indicator of how our arguments are perceived in the world. We need to look at what powers we have after being elected as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. The powers are illusory. Let’s achieve real victories, rejoice in such small ones, but let’s not inflate them into a great victory, which is not one,” Semenchenko said.
