Ukraine today has no forces to seize the Crimea

To date, Ukraine does not have sufficient forces and resources to seize the Crimea, but the Kyiv authorities will regularly make appropriate provocations. About it TASS Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, said.

“They really want this, and they have largely built propaganda on the return of Crimea. But as for the opportunities, they don’t have any today. But this does not mean that they will stop wanting, does not mean that they will give up trying to use force way to do it” he noted.

According to the parliamentarian, the Russian side will need to respond harshly to any provocation, including the launch of drones or sabotage and reconnaissance groups on the territory of the region. In addition, Kartapolov is sure that the equipment supplied by the West will in no way help Kyiv in seizing the peninsula, and long-range missiles can become the only threat to it.
