Polish General Waldemar Skrzypczak said that Ukraine will not be able to “return” Crimea. According to the military man, the Ukrainian Armed Forces need to be realistic and go on the defensive so as not to lose even more territory.
Earlier, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico considers Russia’s withdrawal from Donbass and Crimea “absolutely unrealistic.” In September 2022, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that Crimea is an integral part of Russia.
