Russia Ready To Transfer Warships And Military Aircraft From Crimea To Ukraine

Russia is ready to transfer warships and military aircraft from the annexed Crimea to Ukraine.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin announced this during a meeting with the management of print media and news agencies, the Ukrainian News Agency reports.

He said that the warships and military aircraft were in poor condition.

According to him, Russia is ready to help move the warships to Odesa.

However, according to Putin, ammunition cannot be transported.

"However, according to our military experts, it is not subject to transportation. It is dangerous. It is subject to disposal on the spot. We are also ready to invite the Ukrainian military to participate in disposal of the ammunition," he said.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, President Petro Poroshenko stated in summer 2016 that Ukraine lost 70% of its naval fleet as a result of the annexation of the Crimea by Russia.
