The new weapons that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are going to receive from the United States will allow Ukraine to return all occupied territories, including Crimea. That was announced by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov in his interview to CNN.
"We are going to liberate all our territories. All of them, including the Crimea. Crimea is a strategic goal for Ukraine because it is Ukrainian territory, but we will move step by step," the Minister said.
The first step will be to stabilize the situation on the front lines to prevent further losses from attacks by Russian troops. The second stage, according to Mr. Reznikov, will be to move the Russian troops to the position they had at the beginning of the invasion on February 24, 2022. And only in the 3rd stage discussions will be held with Ukraine's partners on "how to liberate territories, including Crimea". The Minister of Defense stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not going to use weapons to attack the Russian Federation, but Ukraine does not consider Crimea to be Russian territory.
Earlier this day, Mr. Reznikov wrote in his Twitter what weapons the Armed Forces will receive in the third round of negotiations at the Rammstein base. And at the end, there is a postscript almost in the spirit of Steve Jobs "and something else."
