The information was given by Mr. Zelensky at the "Crimea Platform" ( Crimea Platform) - a meeting attended by 60 countries and international organizations - organized by Ukraine to support Kiev's sovereignty declaration over Crimea.
President Zelensky said: "Ukraine is strong and powerful enough" to realize the Ukrainian capitalist idea of Crimea.
We will take Crimea back by any means that we consider correct without consulting other countries, Zelensky was quoted as saying by Ukrainian news agency Strana.ua.
The Crimean peninsula has been a part of Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, in 2014, Russia annexed Crimea.
The Kiev military has launched several airstrikes in Crimea in recent weeks, including a drone attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol over the weekend.
The explosions at military sites on the Crimean peninsula have been blamed by Russia for Ukraine's "sabotage". Kiev has not officially confirmed or denied responsibility for Moscow's allegations.
Responding to the question of why Crimea is important to Russia and Ukraine in the current conflict, the Washington Post pointed out that the peninsula is a symbolic and strategic asset in war.
Crimea was a southern military post when the Ukrainian war began in February. The city of Sevastopol in Crimea has an important port that helps Moscow access the Mediterranean and is the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Squadron.
The peninsula also helped Russia maintain a naval blockade during the war, causing Ukrainian ports to stop trading.
Crimea is also considered by both Russia and Ukraine to be a symbol of power, identity and ownership.
On August 9, after the explosion at the Russian air base in Crimea, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also affirmed: "Crimea belongs to the Ukrainians and we will never abandon it".
The Ukrainian leader stressed that the war launched by Russia " Started with Crimea and must end with Crimea" with the liberation of the peninsula.
