A top Russian official on Tuesday warned Ukraine that any attempt to retake control over the illegally annexed peninsula of Crimea will be seen as a "declaration of war" by Moscow.
Despite international condemnation and the largest conflict in Europe since World War II, Russian President Vladimir Putin has maintained his invasion amounts to a "special military operation," not an official declaration of war.
"For us, Crimea is part of Russia. And it shall be forever. Any attempt to encroach on Crimea is a declaration of war on our country," Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev told Russian media Tuesday.
