So trur, a pitty the Russian don't look it up on internet. Ukraina is a demokrati. The hole world hates this war. Russia do not need more land. Putin is a terrorist.

You poor deluded fool.

Go study history. Russia was a mess under Yeltsin. Putin has revives the economy and allowed Russians to again be proud. That's why he has the highest approval rating of any politician in the world. Stop looking at him from the US propaganda viewpoint and instead examine Russian history.

Bloody imperialists teach us.. ironic

Nice dream, but most Russian forces are re-supplied by the land bridge now, not via Crimea.

​@CountDuckEgg false, the land bridge isn't the main route which is why Russia is desperate to protect the bridge.

MARIUPOL MAY ALSO NOT BE DOING SO WELL FOR PUTIN EITHER, IF THERE IS MUCH MONEY LAUNDERING GOING ON BETWEEN HIS GENERALS.

Note also how he said it's only belonged to Ukraine since 1953. Doesn't matter a whit. Israel is only five years older than that. The real point is of course that in the modern era respect for borders is non-negotiable. Actually I bet that _was_ a veiled shot at Israel. Found the tankie!

No Russia does not have the right to take by force but its not so simple as your example suggests 58% of Londoners do not self identify as roman do they ... according to the 2001 Ukrainian population census, 58.3% of the population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea are ethnic Russians, 24.3% are ethnic Ukrainians and 12% are Crimean Tatars. Polling in 2008 by the Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies, also called the Razumkov Centre, found that a majority of Crimeans approved the idea of joining Russia (63.8%) Note thats ONLY Crimea the rest of the Ukraine did not wish to join Russia

not sure about the italians, but OK

@@steve.k4735 interesting, but when it comes to national sovereignty it isn't local democracy that determines who can separate and join other countries, or the map of Europe would be very different

@@steve.k4735 in this poll the same people express willingness to be part of ukraine, the answers were contradicting each other but you didn't mention for some reason. why is that Steve? the reason there were so many ethnic russians and not crimean tatars in crimea is because they commited a genocide and decreased their percentage from 90+ to single digit percentages, well done for trying to give such practices validity. In the end it was a land grab of an independent country by force.

@@testing52009 Yes they did but you ignore my comment on 58% of Londoners not identifying as Roman don`t you? Which you don`t address for some reason, why is that 520? I don`t give validity I am well aware of Stalins destruction of ethic groups in Crimea, but acknowledging present facts is not giving validity is it, it happened and the make up of the Crimea now is what it is, same as England's is after 43 and the Romans and 1066 Normans they are historical FACTS ,,, what are you advocating cleansing Russians from Crimea to bring it back to pre WW2 However I agree it WAS 100% a land crab by current Russia they had no right they are wrong in their actions without any reservation, their actions in the Ukraine paint both Russian Leaders and Putin as war criminals.

The usa and their puppet countries can do nothing about crimea. Fkn cowards 😂

Yeah in 1991 what about more recently eh ... according to the 2001 Ukrainian population census, 58.3% of the population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea are ethnic Russians, 24.3% are ethnic Ukrainians and 12% are Crimean Tatars. Polling in 2008 by the Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies, also called the Razumkov Centre, found that a majority of Crimeans approved the idea of joining Russia (63.8%) neither the world nor Crimea are stuck in 1800 nor 1991 Note thats ONLY Crimea the rest of the Ukraine did not wish to join Russia

@@steve.k4735 There is no ethnic difference between Ukrainians or Russians, or Germans or Poles. Their wish to identify as Ukrainians is based on language, traditions and mentalities. You are invoking racist (Russian, actually) arguments.

And were bitterly disappointed afterwards.

As long as Ukraine strikes inside Russia, Russia has valid claims to defense and can escalate accordingly. Ukraine is just the stage for Europe vs Russia....a warmup match so to speak.

Crimea was annexed in 2014. Welcome to the party, you're right on time

When are you signing up?

The 1994 treaty was on nuclear nonproliferation. i assume you are talking about the treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation was an agreement between Ukraine and Russia, signed in 1997, effective in 2000. This treaty was renewed every 10 years, however, because Russia assisted the people of Donbas and Lughansk in fighting an illegitimate regime in Kyv from 2014 . Ukraine announced its intention not to renew the treaty in September 2018The treaty consequently expired on 31 March 2019. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree not to extend the treaty.on 3rd December 2018. On December 6 the Ukrainian parliament declared the Treaty to be terminated starting from April 1, 2019.[21]. The borders between Russia and Ukraine had never formally been agreed and it was Ukraine who unilaterally marked out the borders.

The UN Charter and Russia regonized Ukrainia's borders in sovereignty in 1991. If Russia can't respect that, then it is time for Russia to step down from the UN Security Council.

I agree 100%.

The statement "Crimea voted in 1991 in a free and fair election to be in Ukraine" misrepresents the actual circumstances of the 1991 referendum. The 1991 referendum in Crimea was about restoring the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Ukrainian SSR, not explicitly about choosing to be part of Ukraine as opposed to another state like Russia. At the time of the referendum, both Crimea and Ukraine were still parts of the Soviet Union. The overwhelming support in the referendum was for the restoration of autonomy within the structure of the Ukrainian SSR. In 1992, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Crimea did declare independence briefly. The 1992 Declaration of Independence by Crimea was influenced by several complex and interrelated factors: Political and Nationalistic Aspirations: Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a surge of nationalism and regionalism across the former Soviet states, including Ukraine and Crimea. Many ethnic Russians in Crimea felt a strong cultural and historical alignment with Russia rather than Ukraine. The declaration can be seen as an expression of these local nationalist aspirations aiming to assert greater autonomy or even merge with Russia. Ethnic Composition: Crimea had a majority of ethnic Russians who were potentially uneasy with the new Ukrainian government's policies and the prospect of Ukrainian nationalism. This demographic was instrumental in pushing for policies that would secure greater autonomy or a closer relationship with Russia. Economic Uncertainties: The early 1990s were a period of significant economic upheaval. The breakdown of the Soviet economic system led to instability and uncertainty. Regions like Crimea, which were heavily dependent on industries tied to the wider Soviet economy, faced particular challenges. There was a belief that a more autonomous or independent status might allow Crimea to navigate these challenges more effectively. Legal and Constitutional Dynamics: The Ukrainian government was in the process of forming its own identity and constitutional framework, which included defining the status of Crimea within Ukraine. The 1992 declaration was partly a response to these dynamics, as Crimea sought to assert its position and negotiate from a point of strength. Reaction to Ukrainian Policies: The initial moves by the Ukrainian government to impose its control and integrate Crimea into its administrative and legal systems were met with resistance by many in Crimea. The declaration was a pushback against what was seen as encroachment on local autonomy. Ultimately, the declaration was short-lived. The Crimean parliament rescinded the declaration later in 1992 following negotiations with Kiev, which led to Crimea being recognized as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea within Ukraine under a new Ukrainian constitution. This status provided Crimea with a degree of self-governance, although the tensions and complex issues around Crimea's status persisted until the 2014 crisis.

He does. I would point to 3 facts; 1. In 1800 92% of Crimea residents were Tatars, then byi 1944 after some good old fashioned colonisation was 25%, in 1945, after some ethnic cleansing it was 0%.

I think it's better to leave Crimea alone and just focus on Eastern Ukraine. 2016 and 2019 surveys showed that Ukrainians in Donbas preferred a Ukraine state. I suspect that since the invasion the number has increased

@@giftedtheos Surveys in Ukraine make US election polls look reliable. Very many civilians have fled the war zone, perhaps the majority to Russia. The new population will depend upon who wins.
