“All these statements are nonsense.

Taking something away, tearing something away from a great power with a nuclear status is a bad idea, ”RIA Novosti quotes Bobkov.

He noted that these statements are dictated by the desire of Kyiv to keep Ukraine from social collapse.

According to him, behind such statements there may be real attempts at provocation.

Earlier, Zelensky said that Kyiv would "take away" Crimea from Russia "by any means."

He said this while speaking at the Crimean Platform summit.
