In 2014, Ukraine would lose Crimea because of anarchy in the country, this opinion was expressed by the first President of independent Leonid Kravchuk.
In an interview with channel 112, the former President stated that because of weaknesses “in the center and in the field, and in the Crimea, especially to protect the Crimea was impossible.”
