The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized Croatian President Zoran Milanovic today for his statement that Crimea will never return to Ukrainian control, Reuters reported.

"We consider inadmissible the statement of the Croatian president, with which he practically cast doubt on the territorial integrity of Ukraine," wrote a spokesperson of the Ukrainian foreign policy department on Facebook.
