The Russian MP railed at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and dared that if an attack on Crimea happens, a crushing blow will fall that Kyiv will utterly regret.
Mikhail Sheremet, representing the region in the Russian parliament, said that Ukraine would pay the heaviest part should any American missiles hit the province. He added that Kyiv will be devastated if it continues with its plan of attrition and will worsen the devastating attacks on its forces yet.
An Attack on Crimea Would Be the End of Ukraine
Zelensky is desperate for victory as the Ukrainian army falls and threatens to topple his leadership. A Ukrainian official said they would assault the Crimean Peninsula or the Crimean Bridge, which Russia threatened to counter with a crushing blow to command centers, and military structures, and destroy arms-supply routes, reported RT.
The MP said that Russian forces would apply a different degree of force never seen by Kyiv, and it would be the end of Nazified regime, he told an outlet on Sunday.
Vadim Skibitskiy, a spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence, claimed on Saturday that Ukraine could use the US-made M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS multiple launch rocket systems to target Crimea. This warning is in response to his assertion, noted The Thread Times.
The spokesman asserted that the peninsula is a legitimate target for Ukrainian forces because it became a Russian military transit hub during the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv.
According to Skibitskiy, it is also necessary to destroy the Kalibr systems, frigates, small missile ships, and submarines that Russia has stationed in Crimea to safeguard the security of Ukraine.
Russian MP Sheremet stated that since the US provided Zelensky with these deadly weapons, it would pay the price for giving him access to sophisticated weapons that allowed him to strike Crimea with a blow that Kyiv could not recover from.
He stated that the Kremlin has no patience for crossed red lines and will show Americans what they are looking for, noting 180 gadgets.
Ukraine Faces More Than Military Loss
Several high-ranking officials and military commanders in Kyiv have asserted that forces may attack Crimea, which resoundingly voted to reunite with Russia in a 2014 referendum following a coup in the country's capital since Moscow began its military operation in Ukraine more than four months ago.
The Crimean Bridge would be targeted by the Ukrainian military as soon as it has the potential to do so, according to Alexey Arestovich, a senior advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
An agreement with Washington indicated a promise that no territory of Russia would be attacked due to fears that Vladimir Putin would not hesitate to bring a devastating force that would escalate battles more.
Kyiv does not consider it Russian territory but still theirs, even after Russia defeated Ukrainian forces in 2014 and established the pro-Moscow enclave.
The Ukrainian Nazis and Nationalists pose a threat to the peninsula, which is essential to the Kremlin's goals, using US weapons like the HIMARS. Additionally, the Crimean people revolted against Kyiv's forces after a weaker Russian army repulsed them in 2014.
Volodymyr Zelensky, a former comedian who is now the leader of Ukraine, received a severe warning from Russian MP Sheremet that attacking Crimea would invite a crushing blow from Russia that would ultimately destroy Kyiv.
