Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Serhii Kryvonos in the program “Actually: Crimea” said that Ukraine should continue to actively cooperate with world leaders and raise the issue of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
“Therefore, the number one task is to continue to actively cooperate with world leaders, to raise the issue of sanctions against Russia, to bring Russia to such a level with these sanctions that the question becomes: either they will give up Crimea, or they will be left “without pants,” relatively speaking, and the main thing is that at the same time, we must simultaneously strengthen our defense capability inside the country, which will make it possible, if necessary, to act by force”,- he said.
Kryvonos stressed that it is now very important to create an international Crimean platform. The Russian Federation focuses on the issue of resolving the issue in the Donbas – it is completely silent about Crimea, although the issue of the peninsula is on the same level with the issue of the war in the Donbas.
