Sevastopol State Duma deputy Dmitry Belik said Ukraine threatened to deploy missiles on the Crimean border as a “false picture” for the West. It has been reported DEA News.
Before The Washington Post reportedCIA Director William Burns said that during a “recent” “secret” trip to Ukraine, Kiev discussed plans to return territory, including Crimea, and negotiations with Moscow by the end of 2023.
Belik said that Kiev’s “Western sponsors” were able to spot the deception and fraud. According to him, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is walking on thin ice, deceiving his allies about the success of the UAF counteroffensive.
“The Ukrainian side says that they have not yet launched a serious counterattack, but even the first advance forces have been repulsed or defeated in some parts of the front,” said the Russian parliamentarian.
Belik argues that Ukrainian troops failed to break through the first line of Russian defense. In this regard, the deputy noted that it is not clear why Zelensky thought that with the help of new reserves he could solve what the advanced units could not.
The parliamentarian also acknowledged that the wars will be difficult, that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will likely achieve some local successes, but that the missile deployment near the Crimea “is nothing more than Zelensky’s stance and an attempt to deceive the Western masters. Belik stressed.
In March 2014, a referendum was held in Crimea, as a result of which the peninsula became a regional part of Russia and Sevastopol a city of federal significance.
