Pistorius said he could not assess Ukraine's prospects for Crimea
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius interview Bild, given on the occasion of his visit to Kyiv, stated the need for Ukraine's partners to continue to provide military assistance. Among other things, he was asked to assess the likelihood of negotiations.
"The main question is how do we get to the moment when negotiations become possible, when both sides are ready to sit down at the negotiating table," Pistorius said.
When asked whether Ukraine would be able to "regain Donbass and Crimea," Pistorius found it difficult to answer.
"This is a difficult question, a look into a crystal ball," the minister said, noting the bravery of the Ukrainian military. "It is imperative that we continue to support Ukraine."
