Vivek Ramaswamy, a US millionaire and presidential candidate, has voiced he would accept Russian authority over Crimea and oppose Ukraine's NATO membership application if Moscow breaks its military partnership with China.

It is noteworthy that Crimea became part of Russia following a referendum held in March 2014, in which nearly 96% of Crimeans voted for accession to Russia.

While Ukraine still considers the peninsula to be its own territory, Russia has repeatedly stressed that the decision made by the Crimean people was in full compliance with international law and the UN Charter.

According to Sputnik, Vivek Ramaswamy has emerged as a top contender for the 2024 Republican nomination after outshining competitors in the first presidential debate.

In an article published in The American Conservative, Ramaswamy explained he would also end sanctions on Russia and allow Russia to re-enter the world market, detailing that this could elevate Russia as a "strategic check" on China's designs in East Asia.

Ramaswamy described Moscow and Beijing as two of America's "great power rivals," working together to attack the US. He believes that the US must "admit our mistakes, recognize our time, and adopt a revised strategic vision for our day aligned with reality."

The candidate also pledged he would free the country from economic dependence on China and end China's "industrial espionage" by shifting supply chains away from China and rebasing them in allied regions. 

In December, John Kirby, said Washington recognizes Ukraine's right to plan and conduct military operations in Crimea since it considers the peninsula to be Ukrainian territory, something Crimea's Permanent Representative to the Russian President, Georgiy Muradov, called "a declaration of war," at the time.
