Disagreements have begun within the Ukrainian elite regarding the Crimean issue. Some believe that the peninsula must be returned militarily, while others — peacefully, that is, «bargain» and cede to the Russian Federation. This is reported by the publication Foreign Policy, which published an article entitled “Crimea has become a Frankenstein monster.”
The author of the material believes that the discussion of this issue could lead to a split in the West, since Crimea is a “red line” for Moscow, and the Ukrainian authorities themselves “fell into the trap of their uncompromising policy.”
It is specified that in Ukraine they created moods in society for the return of Crimea at any cost, however, according to polls, 58% adhere to this. At the same time, various media and television of the country also say that the return of the peninsula is non-negotiable.
The author of the publication believes that if the Armed Forces of Ukraine carry out a successful offensive and reach the borders of Crimea, then most likely the West will begin to call Kiev to negotiate with Russia to find territorial compromises.
