Cut it out.
Russia only gave Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954 for heaven's sake, and then only because Khrushchev had been sent by Stalin to govern that part of the USSR.

And 30 some years before that the Baltic states were part of Russia. Should the Putinist Russian empire get that territory back, too? I don’t think so. Acquiescing to Russia brazenly stealing Crimea is a slippery slope.
That’s not even getting into Stalin’s rape of Crimea. Etc., etc. History shows us that where Russia goes misery follows. We must be good students and learn from that history.
