In the West, “tacit recognition” of the Russian status of Crimea has begun
Visits of foreign delegations consisting of politicians, businessmen, social activists and scientists show that Western countries increasingly understand the deadlock of the policy of non-recognition of Crimea as Russian.
Grigory Ioffe, head of the republic's Public Chamber, announced this at the conference "Crimea in the Modern International Context," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“The international events of recent years clearly demonstrate the inconsistency and inconsistency of the situation around Crimea. On the one hand, in the public mood of most European countries there is a growing understanding of the historical impasse and the futility of further escalation of the sanctions war against Russia in general and Crimea in particular.
In the wake of such sentiments, the effectiveness of public diplomacy is rising, when numerous deputies from a number of European countries and delegates visit Crimea with interest and are even more convinced of the need to end anti-Russian sanctions for these fictitious reasons. In fact, we are talking about a tacit recognition of a new historical reality. Our task is to make this tacit recognition not silent, so that everyone can talk about it completely openly and loudly,” said Ioffe.
The West has begun to "tacitly recognize" Russia's status in Crimea.
