Russia's missile volley in Ukraine seems to have pushed the U.S. to take a U-turn on Crimea. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken admits that the U.S. is "not encouraging Ukraine to attempt to recapture Crimea," which was annexed by Russia in 2014. Blinken called Crimea a "red line" for Putin as Ukraine weighs plans to retake it. The latest remark is a U-turn, as the U.S. has always referred to "Crimea as Ukrainian land." Blinken's comments will surely frustrate Kyiv and cheer Russia amid the war.
