For example, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace is convinced that Ukraine has every right to attack enemy military installations in Crimea. And all because our state has the right to defend its territories.
The cigarette butt has nothing to do with it
Earlier, Wallace focused on the explosions at the Saki airfield, which stirred up the invaders on August 9. He stressed that the Defense Ministry “largely rejected” most of the arguments from the Russian side. The agency noted that a suitable object is a “legitimate target” for Ukrainians.
He also drew attention to a certain inconsistency with the evidence of Russians. What happens on a regular basis. Thus, the frames of two simultaneous explosions indicate that they did not occur at each other. Therefore, Wallace is convinced, the reason for this was clearly not recklessly thrown out a cigarette butt.
Ukraine has the right to attack the enemy
The Minister recalled that Russia broke into the territory of Ukraine in 2014 and repeated it in 2022 . And this means that our state, according to the articles of the UN, has the full right to protect its territory.
Therefore, there are no restrictions that would apply to our state. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have the right to use heavy weapons, which will allow not only to return the territories of Ukraine, but also to completely push back the invaders. Therefore, I think that it was a legitimate target,” he stressed.
There are still enough enemy airfields in Crimea
During the broadcast with Mark Feigin, Alexei Arestovich said that the Russians still had a few airfields in the Crimea. There are five of them, and the occupiers keep their aircraft on them, which attack the Ukrainians.
At the same time, the adviser to the head of the OP made a fair remark. He noted that the Black Sea Fleet is another potential target. So the enemy needs to be prepared that they will get to him.
Arestovich also noted that “neutral” Russians, and also “patriots” of the aggressor country are already expressing doubts about victory. They do not see the achievements promised in the Kremlin. But in the coming days, he notes, the enemy will have even more reasons to think about defeat.
