It will be a big war – Zelensky on the possibility of an attack by the occupants from the peninsula

December 25, 2020

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with Focus, commented on the possibility of an attack by the Russian Federation from the occupied Crimea, saying that it would be a big war. But he believes that despite the problems with water supply, Russia will not agree to this.

“This is a terrible situation, I do not even want to imagine it. I am against it. Let's hope it is impossible. Otherwise there will be a big war. We will not go anywhere, we will all fight, everyone will be mobilized – both men and women. It will be bad for the population of Ukraine. And I think Russia understands this very well”,- Zelensky said.

The President of Ukraine also noted the importance of communicating with the President of the Russian Federation one-on-one.

“Because there are issues that we do not raise in the Normandy format – neither the question of hostages in Russia or Crimea, nor the question of Crimea. This format is purely about the Donbas”,- he explained.
