“To a large extent they have built propaganda on the return of Crimea. But as for opportunities, they don’t have any today,” the MP was quoted as saying by TASS.
He does not provide for the rejection of such a policy, and Russia in this situation, according to Kartapolov, must “respond harshly to any provocation.” The parliamentarian did not rule out that they continue, for example, we are talking about sending drones, saboteurs.
The head of the committee has no doubt that if the West gives kyiv “longer-range missiles, they will certainly try to use them.”
However, military aid, the deputy is sure, will not help at all to carry out the seizure of the peninsula. F-16 fighters will not play a role in this regard either.
According to him, the only factor posing a threat to Crimea could be the supply of long-range missiles. However, the head of the committee added that the Russian air defense forces are carefully evaluating this situation and all necessary measures have already been taken.
