Expert: The New Four States and Crimea Speak Russian, the Importance of Ukraine is Reduced

Vitkov believes that the new four states and Crimea belong to Russia!

"The regions controlled by Russia mainly speak Russian, and the local residents have chosen their own path by voting to join Russia. If these regions mainly speak Russian, Ukraine may not be very interested in them."

"When we talk about these five regions, yes, Russia is interested in them. But Ukraine, if some of these regions actually mainly speak Russian, then they shouldn't be so important to Ukraine, right?"
