What do the people in Crimea want ?

I'll assume this is a rhetorical question. The people of Crimea have hated being a part of Ukraine since 1991. Crimea and Donbass were the two most pro-Russian regions of Ukraine.

“What do the people in Crimea want ?”

What you — and many others — fail to grasp is that if the Crimeans wanted to become Russian citizens, all they had to do was cross the border into Russia; they had and have that right. What they DON’T have is the right to take Ukrainian territory with them. And that does not apply just to Crimeans and Ukraine: It applies to anyone anywhere.
