Crimea targeting
Says Oleg Artyovsk, during his remarks to the site "Sky News Arabia"that the Crimea peninsula was secured with additional air defense devices during the last period, which was confirmed by the statements of the Minister of Defense during the past days, in order to repel any air attack or espionage in the vicinity of the region.
US President Joe Biden said earlier that the United States leaves Ukraine the decision on how to end the conflict with Russia, and when asked about the possibilities of returning Crimea to Ukraine, he admitted that it would not be possible to return it immediately.
Washington retreated
The Crimean crisis is a thorny file for the US administration. Following the recent incident over the Black Sea, CNN quoted US officials as confirming that "The Pentagon is looking for alternative paths for its marches in Crimea to avoid escalation with Russia"emphasizing that "Washington is assessing the balance between the benefit of using drones for reconnaissance and the risks of potential escalation with Russia".
The officials indicated that the US military is currently studying the paths of the aircraft, and estimating how to reduce the risk of a clash with Russian forces in the region.
In light of what Alexander Artmatov, a Russian military analyst, described as the American retreat and avoiding escalation in front of Moscow, he made it clear that the Crimean file is not up for discussion or negotiation. "Pure Russian land other than the four recently annexed regions of southern Ukraine"as he put it.
And Alexander Artmatov added, during his statements to the site "Sky News Arabia"that any second attempt to target Crimea or promote the launching of a counterattack by Kiev in its direction, the Russian response to it will be very harsh, as happened last October, which is the destruction of infrastructure in Kiev.
The Russian military analyst pointed out that the recent march incident proves that Crimea is a red line and that no transgression in that region can be tolerated, and neither the West nor Washington will be allowed to continue to play the intelligence and espionage role and penetrate that region again.
