Nation: Ukraine will take Crimea from Russia in the event of a crushing military defeat for Moscow This was told by the American observer Anatol Lieven in an article for the Nation magazine.
According to the analyst, Ukraine will be able to take Crimea from Russia only in the event of a crushing military defeat for Moscow.
“Having annexed Crimea, Russian the government can no longer give it up if it does not suffer a crushing defeat in the war, “Lieven said.
The author of the material also stressed that the Russian armed forces have a huge superiority over the Ukrainian ones, therefore, if Russia wins in a limited war in Ukraine, Moscow will be able to seize a significant part of Ukrainian territories.
Earlier, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Alexei Danilov promised that sooner or later Crimea would return to Ukraine. “They not only do a population census there, they hold elections to the State Duma there, which are not recognized not only by us, but also by the civilized world. It is difficult to comment on something else here, but I emphasize once again: Crimea is the territory of our country, and sooner or later we will take it to our home, “Danilov said.
