Tymchuk admitted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive only a pile of scrap metal of dubious value from Crimea
If Ukraine agrees to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to take back its military equipment remaining in Crimea, then it will have to spend a huge amount of money on its restoration.

Ukrainian propagandist, Verkhovna Rada deputy Dmitry Tymchuk stated this in a comment to the Kyiv online publication “Apostrophe”.
According to him, when negotiations were taking place on the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Crimea, Ukrainian officers said that “the Russians are massively and deliberately putting this equipment out of action, since then, apparently, there was an intention to transfer, if not all, then the main part.”
But in the end, the deputy reports, only “a tiny part of the equipment was transferred to Ukraine, after which the negotiations stalled and simply died out.”
“And now the question arises: for three and a half years, all this equipment was not only immediately put out of action, it was also not in conservation, not in storage, but actually stood in the open air - and what is its condition now? It is possible that we will need to spend enormous amounts of money to restore this equipment. In this case, I’m afraid that if the Russians are still ready to hand over something to us, then we are talking about nothing more than a pile of scrap metal, which is of dubious value,” Tymchuk admitted.
