I don’t agree with Russia’s actions - but I do not believe it justifies Ukraine shedding the blood of a fraternal people to keep sovereignty over them that they have rejected.
Its time to let them go and they want to be with Russia to wish them the best. This is not something a country should do lightly. Its not about Russia, not about the fact that it took what it wanted, its about letting the Russians of Crimea have their own future.
Like Ukrainians want to have theirs with Europe. In the long run both sides will benefit.
Let me tell you what the problem with that thinking is...
Ukraine was invaded by Russia while they were vulnerable because Putin decided he wanted Crimea. According to the Ukraine constitution the whole country has to vote for Crimea to leave.
By being soft and gifting Crimea to the illegal invasion of Putin, you are making a mockery of civilized international law of recognized national borders, rewarding a criminal dictator and setting a bad precedent for other jack-boot criminal thugs around the world.
