“But when they stated they were,” Kerry interrupted. “We didn’t let them annex him. And we stopped and we got up against it.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea in 2014, when Kerry led the State Department under President Barack Obama. .

“It’s a dramatic change in American politics“Jansing said.

“Huge- I just said I couldn’t necessarily agree with that putting on the table,” Kerry continued. “Who knows what the parties will accept. Clearly, each side has to take it as a fair towards them and somehow as a balanced outcome. And I think they will publish it where you are coming down as a mediator before time put everything in a very difficult position.”

“I welcome the president for that. I know he is giving up for that. He wants to have peace. I believe in it, and I want to do well in their efforts to try to get there. It’s a difficult task, but it’s feasible. And I think it’s really important for the administration to continue working on it,” Kerry added.
