You need to read the history of Crimea. It was only transferred to Ukraine by the USSR in 1954.

And in recent history, Zelenskyy has wanted to wipe out Crimea culture, including their language and churches.

“You need to read the history of Crimea. It was only transferred to Ukraine by the USSR in 1954.”

Crimea only became Russian dominant after Stalin pretty well banished most all the last non-Russians.

Lots of places became part of the Imperial Russian Empire, succeeded by the Soviet Empire. That didn’t make everything “Russian”. Even in formal “Russia”, “minorities occupy most of the territory. It is from those “minorities” Putin is conscripting a lot of his cannon fodder.

Too late. That happened when Stalin deported the Tartars and replaced them with Russians.
