Senator Alexey PushkovMOSCOW, Jan 23. Senator Aleksey Pushkov commented in his telegram channel on the scandalous resignation of the commander of the German Navy, Kai-Achim Schönbach, after his statement that Crimea would never return to Ukraine. about the «great history» of Ukraine, which supposedly fought back from the Mongols, then from the Tatars, then God knows who else … This is what Western politics can be carried — and it is even encouraged, «Pushkov emphasized.
In Crimea, the statements of the Commander of the German Navy about Crimea were appreciated. A member of the Federation Council noted that such thinking is «unacceptable» for Western countries, because no one needs a sound analysis or a competent assessment of reality there. The vice admiral paid the price for not following the ideological dogma, the senator concluded. Earlier, speaking in India, Shenbakh said that Crimea would never return to Ukraine: «The Crimean peninsula is gone, it will not return.» The Vice Admiral also called the West's accusations against Russia about the «invasion» of Ukraine «nonsense.» Shenbakh later said that his words were «an obvious mistake» and «ill-considered, misjudged in this situation,» and soon asked the head of the Defense Ministry of Germany, Christina Lambrecht to release him from his duties as Commander of the Naval Forces.
