According to him, Kiev has nothing to oppose Moscow in strategic armament.
Turchinov believes that in this situation, the only way out for Ukraine is to strengthen military capabilities.
“The time will come when Russia will have significantly bigger problems than the Soviet Union had at the end of its existence, and we will liberate not only the Crimea,” said the former NSDC secretary.
Earlier, former President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk said that the country abandoned nuclear weapons under the threat of US sanctions.
Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held in March 2014, during which the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula called for reunification with Russia.
