“Today we understand that Russia will not give up Crimea just like that. But a lot depends on you and me. If Crimeans look at what is happening here, what battles are going on in the highest echelons of power, please tell me, do they have a desire to run to us? Let's look at ourselves from the outside and act accordingly. Then there will be order,” Kuchma said.
He believes that the sanctions imposed by the West against Russia do not work, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russia even thanks for the sanctions. They are now introducing the technologies themselves that the West is not giving them. We are pushing them to do this. They understand that you can’t get far with oil and gas,” Kuchma said.
