Russia-Ukraine war

Military expert Petro Chernyk is convinced that Ukraine can only de-occupy the temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula by armed means.

He expressed this opinion on the air of the Espreso TV channel

"War is always a path of deception. I would like to remind you about the brilliant Kharkiv operation conducted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. An operation that few people were able to predict and see. Therefore, it is impossible to guess where the real concentration of the blow and the concentration of forces and means will take place," Chernyk explained.

Military expert believes it is impossible to de-occupy Crimea through diplomacy.

"The main strategic goal for Ukraine is the liberation of all temporarily occupied territories. And I don't believe in any diplomatic agreements on Crimea as such. In general, there is a very false narrative that diplomats decide something. Diplomats are only intermediaries between the Centers of power and those who make decisions. Crimea can only be liberated by military means," he added.
