A combatant of the “Azov” regiment Danyyil Novitskyy expressed his opinion that Russia would return Crimea but it would be in terrible condition in the interview for the program “Crimea. Time of occupation”. This is why Ukraine will have to invest tremendous funds for reconstruction of the peninsula.
“We will not return Crimea by means of a military conflict, it is inconvenient at least. I think, it is going to happen in a political way, moreover, at some point, Russia will be almost eager to return it. Unfortunately, the return of Crimea can be the first step towards default of the country because it has been already almost destroyed and is going to be returned to us in a poor condition; it will be needed to inject tremendous funds there. We will do it, although it will harm the whole Ukraine,” Novitskyy asserted.
He also added that he didn’t want “Crimea to feel the war it actually started” at all.
