The head of the Crimean parliament threatened Ukraine with a tough rebuff in case of an attack on the peninsula

The head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, said that Ukraine’s attempt to organize an attack on Crimea would receive a “hard rebuff.” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced similar plans the day before.

Volodymyr Konstantinov added that the relevant decisions are made by the “organized West”, and not by the Ukrainian authorities. According to him, the counteroffensive will begin only with a team of “Western curators.” “If there is a team from across the ocean, they will go on the offensive,” said the head of the Crimean parliament “RIA News”.

April 29 Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Yle confirmed the plans of the Ukrainian military to launch a counter-offensive, which, in his opinion, “will be able to repel Russian forces, as well as return the Crimean peninsula under control.” At the same time, he noted that the success of Kyiv largely depends on the supply of weapons from the West.

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev in response declared about the need for a “complete defeat” of the Ukrainian army and inflicting “maximum military defeat” on it.
