The liberation of Crimea, currently occupied by Russia, is a strategic goal for Ukraine, and there's hope it could happen as early as next year, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said in an interview with German journalists, Bild reported on Dec. 21.
Umerov said he remains confident that the peninsula can be liberated in 2024, stating, "I am one hundred percent sure."
Russia is on the "dark side" and the Putin regime is condemned by the entire civilized world, Umerov said.
“There is no question at all that we (Ukraine) will win," he said.
Thanks to successful attacks on Russia and operations in the Black Sea, Ukraine managed to push back the invaders in Crimea. Ukraine is preparing "developments" for 2024 that will contribute to liberating the peninsula from the Russians, Umerov said earlier.
Ukrainian fighters have successfully penetrated two of the three Russian defensive lines, Umerov said, emphasizing that Ukraine has a plan in place for 2024.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
