Western analysts believe that Ukraine has a chance to wrest the peninsula from Russian invaders this year.
Crimea remains Ukrainian territory, and Russia has violated a signed agreement to recognize Ukraine’s borders in exchange for nuclear disarmament. This was announced on Wednesday, June 21, by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, writes the Voice of America.
He noted that the Ukrainian victory was to return Crimea.
“Crimea is the territory of Ukraine. I don’t care how Putin reacts to it, but for me the Ukrainian victory is to return Crimea,” said Rasmussen.
He noted that it is very important for Putin to maintain the occupation of Crimea, but the world should not be afraid of his reaction.
“The peninsula must return to Ukraine, otherwise it will be a signal for other aggressors, in particular, we are talking about the situation around Taiwan,” said Rasmussen.
He added: “When I hear the American argument that we should cut aid to Ukraine because we need resources to defend Taiwan, what I want to say is that the two conflicts are really very connected. By helping to defend the Ukraine, we are also preventing the attack.” in Taiwan.”
Recall that the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov advised the Russians in the temporarily occupied Crimea to use the Crimean bridge as soon as possible and go home.
Earlier, the GUR advised Ukrainians in Crimea to avoid being close to the military facilities and equipment of the occupiers.
