Crimea will never again be part of Ukraine - Croatian president

SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, will never again be part of Ukraine, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said on Monday in remarks detailing his objection to Zagreb providing military aid to Kyiv.

In December, Croatian lawmakers rejected a proposal that the country join a European Union mission in support of the Ukrainian military, reflecting deep divisions between Milanovic and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.

A vocal critic of Western policy in Ukraine, Milanovic has said he does not want his country, the EU's newest member state, to face what he has called potentially disastrous consequences over the 11-month-old war in Ukraine.

What the West is doing about Ukraine "is deeply immoral because there is no solution (to the war)," Milanovic told reporters during a visit to military barracks in the eastern town of Petrinja, referring to Western military support for Kyiv.

Oh FFS. Does he forget that the Serbian nationalists targeted Dubrovnik because they wanted it to be the port for landlocked greater Serbia?

According to several military experts and geopolitical expert Peter Zeihan, Crimea will be the easier target. With the Kersch bridge off line and no easy resupply route the Russians are not going to be able to hold Crimea. The Donbas and Luhansk oblasts that border Russia and easy resupply, that will be much more difficult.
