Russian President Vladimir Putin denies the annexation of Ukraine's Crimea, insisting that the peninsula joined Russia following a coup d'état in Kyiv, according to Russian news agency RBC.
"Russia has not annexed anything. Everything that has happened in Crimea is the result of illegitimate actions by certain political forces in Ukraine who provoked a coup d'état," Putin said at the CIS summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in response to a comment by Ukrainian Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Mykola Doroshenko who voiced protest against Russia's CIS chairmanship in 2017 over the annexation of Crimea and support of Donbas militants.
Putin stressed that Crimea had joined Russia based on the expression of the will of the people living in this territory, RBC wrote.
