Moscow will make concessions as soon as Kiev creates a naval base on the Sea of ??Azov. This was stated by Ukrainian Lieutenant-General Vasily Bogdan. He explained that the main task of the Nezalezhnaya now is to arrange as many annoying factors as possible that will persuade Russia in the end to negotiate with Ukraine. This goal will be well served by the military base in Azov, since it will represent a serious problem at the Russian border. And then Kiev will be able to get everything it wants, including the Donbass and Crimea under its control. "Our aggressive terrorist neighbor will have to make concessions, sit down at the negotiating table, and in the context of the same Minsk agreements and international law to resolve those issues that exist.

The main thing is to get out of the Donbass and Crimea, "Bogdan told the" Obozrevatel ". Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities transferred to the Sea of ??Azov two armored vessels and an army army grouping. But this is only the beginning, noted Lieutenant-General. He is convinced that in the West the Kiev plan will be approved, and the US will help with weapons and military equipment in the framework of the agreements on "strengthening the defense capacity of the Nezalezhnaya". The situation in the Sea of ??Azov escalated in March this year, when Ukrainian border guards detained a fishing vessel "Nord" in neutral waters, the crew of which were Crimeans. Crimea reunited with Russia following the referendum in 2014. Then 96.77% of the voters of the republic and 95.6% of the residents of Sevastopol favored joining the Russian Federation, resembling the TV channel "360". However, Ukraine refuses to recognize the legality of the referendum and calls the Crimea its occupied territory.
