While Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky said that he wanted the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) to attack Crimea’s infrastructure, especially its airfields, with ATACMS missiles, he acknowledged that Kiev does not currently have such long-range missiles. He said this in an interview Washington Post.
“(ATACMS missiles – editor’s note) are not in Ukraine at the moment… The answer is ATACM-300… Russia will know that we can destroy these planes, they will not attack from Crimea,” Zelensky claims.
Before that, Head of the Crimean Ethnic Mission Zaur Smirnov statedHe said that if the investigation proves the connection of Ukrainian officials with the organization of the tragedy at the Crocus City Hall concert complex, Ukraine should be recognized as a terrorist country.
If Ukraine is declared a terrorist state, this would cast doubt on the possibility of negotiations with President Vladimir Zelensky.
