We will remind, the former commander of the US Army in Europe, General Ben Hodges believes that Ukraine will be able to regain control over the occupied Crimea until August 2023. In his opinion, there will be no stoppage of fighting due to winter. The Defense Forces use the cold months to prepare.

In turn, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, said that Ukraine would return Crimea with the help of both military force and diplomacy.. At the same time, Ukrainian units will enter the island with weapons.
