Uh the Russian army has been trying and failing to do so.
Maybe if they give back Crimea they can let go a couple of the other areas.
But now they will REALLY try. //sarcasm
Was recently reading about Chechen war with Russia...took a long time. Russia had a few setbacks,,,,then they overwhelmed the separatists....I wonder if that is the Russian m.o. in war. Just grind it out.....just no way of knowing with the fake news and propaganda from all sides...
Crimea has never been Ukraine.
