Decisive battle for the liberation of Crimea: Ukraine launches new multiple offensives

Crimea is a peninsula that has strategic importance in terms of gaining an advantage, especially in the Black Sea and Azov regions. Therefore, Crimea is of great importance, both economically and militarily-politically, for Ukraine. For Russia as well”, Havryliuk stated.

Havryliuk commented on the possibility of returning Crimea by military means.

“It is difficult by military means due to the fact that Russia, together with the countries that support it, has a resource advantage over Ukraine. Therefore, the issue of returning Crimea lies both in the military and political spheres. More precisely, it is more in the diplomatic sphere”, Havryliuk said.

Olha Kuryshko, Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, also commented on the issue of Crimea's return to UNN.

“In fact, the liberation of all temporarily occupied territories, and this is not only about Crimea, but also about other TOTs, is a guarantee of security and stability. Because in fact, what Russia did with Crimea was to build a military base from which it began a full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine. This means that leaving these territories in the status or format they are in now is just a suspension, a certain freezing, but it is not the elimination of the causes and not a preventive measure against what will happen next”, Kuryshko told UNN.

According to her, Russia is currently militarizing people and imprisoning people with pro-Ukrainian positions in the occupied territories.
