“The Ukrainians make the selections about their operations and once they conduct them. Crimea is part of Ukraine.
“We’ve made that very clear from the beginning. If they decide to conduct an operation within Crimea, they’re well in their bounds. That is a sovereign part of their country that was illegally invaded by Russia in 2014,” stated Singh.
