Oleksiy Danilov: Crimea is the territory of Ukraine, and we can test any modern weapon there

Crimea is the territory of Ukraine, and we can test any weapon there. This was stated by Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, during a national telethon on the My-Ukraine TV channel on Thursday, April 13, 2023, commenting on the information about explosions near the accumulation of russian military equipment in Crimea.

"Crimea is the territory of Ukraine. It is possible that new types of weapons were tested in Crimea. I do not rule it out," he said.

At the same time, Oleksiy Danilov emphasized the words of President of Ukraine about new weapons manufactured by our defense industry.

Answering the question why the occupiers are digging trenches on the Crimean coast, the Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine ironically said: "It won't save them, no matter how many kilometers of trenches they dig in the sand or in black soil."

"They will all leave there, it's just a matter of time," Oleksiy Danilov summarized.
