He made the statement in an interview with the Washington Post.
According to Wallace, there is a real possibility that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will successfully de-occupy Crimea this year, as Russian forces are running out of resources.
"What we’ve seen on the battlefield is that, if you punch Russian forces in the wrong place, they’ll actually collapse. You can send young men to die in their tens of thousands, which is what they do, but you can’t magic up tanks and weapons systems that they need," the minister said.

Earlier, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov expressed his belief that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could liberate Crimea by summer.
