Yarosh: “Crimea would not have been held, but it was worth fighting”
Ukrainian nationalists could not do anything to oppose the Russian army in Crimea, but it would still be worth “fighting” for the peninsula.
This was stated in an interview with Alesa Batsman, the wife of Kyiv journalist Dmitry Gordon, notorious for anti-Russian propaganda, by the former leader of the Right Sector banned in Russia, Dmitry Yarosh, who was recently appointed adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Yarosh, the level of training of his charges in 2014 did not allow them to conduct successful military operations in Crimea.
“We could have fought for him. To keep it - I’m not sure, judging by the number of traitors in the Ukrainian security forces. It was possible to fight, it seems to me. And, for example, when we started, we immediately began to prepare to move to Crimea, I perfectly understood that in order to climb there, it’s actually a bag, we need to give people at least some kind of training, some kind of weapons, and so on Further. But there were no such opportunities to do this urgently,” the extremist said.
“We were preparing for the east for a couple of months - on April 20 we had our first battle, and we immediately began preparations. In Crimea there would be a primitive confrontation on our part. Units still came there more or less prepared,” said Yarosh
