I feel their is no reason to oppose Crimea returning to Russian sovereignty . Especially if it is fair and equitale to those who don’t want and choose to leave. Help them to relocate , give them fair value for their property . This could become a new standard for compassionate and mindful partition ; which could and should happen in many other places in this world.

It’s not that simple. Stalin Russified the Crimea. Deported the natives and imported Russians. The process is called Russification.

There are 185 ethnicities in Russia. None of them are allowed to do what is happening in Crimea. The whole thing is a charade to legitimize Russian rule. Are the Volga Tartars free to break away from Russia? How about a vote for them also? How about Latvia? 30% ethnic Russian. Putin free to grab them also?
