This was stated by a former deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, who received Ukrainian citizenship in 2019, Ilya Ponomarev in an interview with "UNIAN". According to him, to hope for the collapse of the Russian Federation is in vain. "It is unlikely to me. Yes, certain regions may be separated, in particular, Chechnya, but these will be units. The mass process is not said," he said. Ponomarev noted that today's Russia is not the USSR, the country is arranged differently.
Moreover, the war will not end when Ukraine will liberate all territories from Russian invaders. "Those who talk about the" moat with crocodiles "on the border between Russia and Ukraine should not forget that crocodiles should be fed, because they will get out and eat people. And rockets are perfectly flying through the ditch with crocodiles," Ponomarev said. In the same interview, he stated that the task of liberating Crimea is realistic. It may be easier to do than Donbas.
"At the same time, the release of Crimea will be the final point in terms of the end of the war, because it will mean the loss of any hope for the Russian elite that this war can be won," he said. We will remind that in July Ilya Ponomarev told about the loss of power by Putin. He stated that the Russians would meet with the flowers of anyone who has power and who is against Putin. And this, in his opinion, has already proven the rebellion of Prigogine on June 24.
