Savchenko says Ukraine could have fought back during Crimea's annexation
Member of Parliament Nadia Savchenko says she is sure that the Ukrainian people and the army were able to put up an armed resistance during the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.
"As for how [Crimea] should be returned, it was necessary to keep Crimea by way of war. There was a certain period when we had to go and defend our land. But we missed it. Why did we miss it? It is a separate question," she said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday.
What is more, Savchenko said she had a feeling there is a threat of a Third World War, and in case it happened, the occupied peninsula would be back to Ukraine.
