Petro Chernyk: Crimea will be liberated only by military means

Share this article


Military expert Petro Chernyk believes that Crimea cannot be returned to Ukraine by diplomatic means, the only way to de-occupy is military action.

"War is a path of deception. I would like to remind you of the brilliant Kharkiv operation carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. An operation that, in fact, few people could predict and see. Therefore, it is impossible to guess where the real concentration of strike and concentration of forces and means will take place," Chernyk told Espresso.

The specialist also commented on the issue of the de-occupation of Crimea by Ukraine.

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