Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny announced his desire to seize Crimea and launch strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation.
This statement was made regardless of the conditions of the West not to use weapons transferred to Kyiv against Russian territories.
Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported Zaluzhny that he “is not going to ask anyone for permission.”
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the Kyiv administration will independently decide what to do in a given case.
The general promised to use his weapons, but did not disclose details of the type of weapons that might be used.
Zaluzhny added that for a successful counter-offensive it is necessary to obtain the necessary resources, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces currently do not have.
The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army also announced his desire to return Crimea as soon as he has the means to do so.
He stated that if these means were available, no one would stop him on his way to achieving his goal.
