Nazarov also said that Croatia during the conflict was supported by the "powerful armed forces" of the North Atlantic Alliance.

He also said that it would be very risky to attempt a frontal offensive in Donbass due to the possibility of large losses.

In November, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Ruslan Khomchak, said that he did not see a purely military solution to the problem of returning Donbass.

According to him, the residents of Donbass do not support the Ukrainian military in everything, therefore, “shots in the back” are possible.
