And the response of the Russian Ministry of Defense is to stabilize the situation and avoid escalation, but also to send a warning to Ukraine that Russia will not give up Crimea easily.
The experts also noted that the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for many years, and both sides have strong nationalist sentiments and geopolitical interests. In the current international environment, both sides are reluctant to compromise and negotiate, preferring to resolve the issue by force.
