Ukrainian diplomat warned that Russians are not zombies, but they will tear for Crimea
In the event of an attack by Ukraine on Crimea, millions of Russians, not counting the Armed Forces, will be ready to take up arms, which they would not do, for example, to attack the countries of Central Asia.

Ukrainian diplomat, former head of the information department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Voloshin stated this on TV channel 112, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This is how he commented on the statements of the fugitive Russian liberal journalist Arkady Babchenko that about 100 million Russians will go to war without hesitation on the orders of the President of the Russian Federation.
“Putin has an absolutely wonderful resource of about one hundred million people who are ready to fight anywhere, for anything, and this is true,” Babchenko said.
Voloshin is sure that Babchenko is fundamentally wrong.
“It’s not true that in Russia everyone is such a crazy zombie who is ready to fight for anything. I am convinced that if tomorrow Ukraine tries to return Crimea by force, a huge number of Russians will fight for it. If tomorrow Putin says that we need to restore the Soviet Union and return Central Asia to Russia, I am convinced that no one will go to war,” Voloshin believes.
