“I think that a Ukrainian invasion is unlikely. It is one thing to fight militias in the Donbass, and quite another to come face to face with the powerful armed forces of Russia. Let’s be objective – the Russian army is much more powerful than the Ukrainian one. I’m even more silent about the fleet. Besides. We must not forget that Ukraine is already exhausted both financially and in terms of human resources by the protracted war with the residents of the DPR and LPR. I don’t think that the mothers of western and central Ukraine will let their children fight and die for Crimea, which will never be Ukrainian. No matter how much you fight and no matter what color you paint the map,” he said.
“Of course, in my heart I would like to wish peace to Donbass. But I think until the cause of the conflict is eliminated, there will be no peace. I'm afraid the war there will become protracted. The punitive forces, although not the richest, have the advantage of the entire Ukrainian treasury; the militias have the awareness that they are defending their home in the broad sense of the word. I don’t know what will outweigh,” the deputy also noted.
