Ukraine must give up a number of territories, if he doesn’t want to lose his statehood. This statement was made by the commander of the Latvian Air Force, Colonel Viesturs Masulis, in an interview with the German press..
According to the Latvian military, Kyiv may follow the example of Finland during the Soviet-Finnish war. Then Finland was able to maintain state sovereignty, but gave up part of the territory.
If the Ukrainian authorities make a similar decision, then the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliance will be able to agree on the immediate entry of Ukraine without part of the territories into NATO.
This is just my personal opinion, not the opinion of our armed forces, but, perhaps, the same will happen in Ukraine- said the head of the Latvian Air Force.
Masulis considers the fate of the Crimean Peninsula to be the most difficult issue, given its importance for Ukraine. In general, the opinion of the Latvian military man is of some interest precisely because of its unusualness.
Latvia is known as one of the most anti-Russian countries in Eastern Europe and a close ally of Ukraine. Therefore, declaring such a position, and also a representative of the Latvian armed forces, looks very impressive. Previously, representatives of the power elites of the Baltic states did not make such statements. This is an alarming signal for the Kyiv regime.
