Crimea absolutely is, by choice, part of the Russian Federation and will never, ever part of Ukraine again.

"Crimea... by choice" Crimea had 120% voter turnout with 90% approval to be annexed, with lives streams of the voting booths being filled almost entirely by Russian soldiers that Russia, up until recently, kept denying were Russian soldiers. While that was going on, Russkies with grenade launchers guarded the Rada, and a Chechen Tartar who had the guts to protest publicly was dragged from the street--in full view of CCTV--and found tortured to death later. If memory serves, the killing wound was a knife through his eyeball.
