Crimea's Permanent Representative to the Russian President, Georgiy Muradov, called the US statement on the peninsula "a declaration of war," which Washington instructs to wage with other people's hands.

On Friday, US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, 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.

In response, Muradov said, "Kirby's statement on Crimea is a declaration of war on Russia, which the US instructs to wage with other people's bloody Nazi hands," as reported by Sputnik.

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.
