Danilov explained why it is impossible to "lease" Crimea to the Russians

The so-called "lease" of the Ukrainian Crimea is impossible. The fact is that Russia will very soon demand to become the sole owner.

This was said by the Secretary of the National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

"They were already our tenants. Very soon they will demand to become the owners of what they are renting," Danilov emphasized.

What the Secretary of the NSDC also stated

Danilov also rejected the potential autonomy of the demilitarized Donbas with UN guarantees and Ukrainian sovereignty. According to him, Ukraine had already experienced enough autonomy with Crimea. 

"Do you remember what was in the Budapest Memorandum? The best guarantee of territorial integrity will be the full and unconditional return of all occupied territories, including Donetsk and Luhansk, under Ukrainian government control," Danilov stated.

He is confident that Ukraine will achieve victory in the war. Sooner or later, Russia will experience a devastating defeat on our land.
