Think how nuts this is:
[after attack] Zelensky advisor Podolyak stated that "there can be no beaches or tourism" in Crimea and that every victim of the strike is a "civilian occupier".
Beachgoers that Podolyak wants to kill as occupiers......... are same original citizens & voters of Crimea...... that Blinken says, must be returned to Ukraine before Ukraine could ever have another election.
PS. But it is true, 95% of Crimeans never felt part of Ukraine - always felt Russian.
From that standpoint, Podolyak's murderous Nazi wishes are slightly less nuts, than Blinken's denial of reality.
