Putin warned he could ‘lose his life’ if Ukraine retakes Crimea
Ukraine is preparing for a major attack to retake Crimea which Russia has occupied since 2014.
It has been claimed that Vladimir Putin could “lose his life” if Crimea is captured as Ukraine are now targeting the peninsula.
The US has delivered the long-range ATACMS to attack Russian forces in Crimea that could make the military in the peninsula “worthless.”
Speaking to Times Radio YouTuber and Ukraine veteran, Operator Starsky, warned, “With losing Crimea, Putin will probably lose his life as well. That is why these strikes on strategic objects will continue.

We expect with the Ukrainian army gaining access to the Azov Sea at least that the future of so-called Russian Crimea will be under big, big question.
Philip Karber, a military analyst told Radio Free Europe the US ATACMS is a “big breakthrough” for Ukraine which “could basically make Crimea militarily worthless.
President Volodymyr Zelensky told The Washington Post, “When Russia knows we can destroy these jets, they will not attack from Crimea.”
“It’s like with the sea fleet,” he added. “We pushed them from our territorial waters. Now we will push them from the airports in Crimea.”
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council has warned that attacking Crimea could end up in an “apocalypse.”
Medvedev said on Telegram last August, “Ukrainian criminals announced that they received approval for any strikes throughout Russia, ‘for example, [to attack – ed.] Crimea.’
“If this is true (and there is no reason to doubt it now), then this is direct, legally significant evidence of the West’s complicity in the war against Russia on the side of Stepan Bandera’s state [Stepan Bandera was a leader of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, whom the Russians are afraid of – ed.].
“Sophisticated casus belli, and the opportunity for Russia to act within the jus ad bellum against everyone and everything in the NATO countries.
“Sad, unfortunately. The prophecies of the Apocalypse are getting closer.”
