Budanov believes Ukraine will return Crimea by force and diplomacy
Ukrainian intelligence chief believes Ukraine will enter Crimea with weapons in hand.
The head of the Defence Ministry's main intelligence directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, said this in an interview with the LIGA.net news and analysis website.
Budanov believes that Ukraine will return Crimea in any case. It will be done by a combined method - both by force and diplomacy.
Crimea will be returned through a combination of force and diplomacy, but there will be nothing without force. Our units will go there with weapons in their hands.
Besides, the head of intelligence says that Ukraine will return all the lost territories from 1991. And whoever disagrees that Ukraine is a country recognised within the 1991 borders, disagrees with the world order that has existed since the end of World War II and with the new foundations of the UN.
