Yatseniuk: No such thing as a ‘quick fix’ to Crimean problem

There is no quick answer to the question of Ukraine regaining control of the Russian-occupied territory of Crimea, and the problem may not be solved in this generation, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said at his year-end press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAA1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"There is no fast geopolitical response to the Crimean issue,” Yatesniuk said.

“A simple solution to the question of how to return [control of] Crimea [to Ukraine] does not exist today."

However, Yatseniuk said that as far as the Ukrainian government is concerned, Crimea remains a Ukrainian territory.

He said he was convinced that next generation of Ukrainian "children and grandchildren" would certainly regain control of Crimea.
