If Ukrainians want to remain Ukrainians - and not become unwilling citizens of the Russian Federation - they must let Crimea go. There is no other way.

This should have been agreed on in 1994...They should have know that Russia would never give up their claims on Crimea.

I think Ukraine has let it go. They want to build a nation state and don’t need an enclave that does not harmonize with them. The troubling part in all this is not that Russia got Crimea but that the Russian Federation did it in the worst possible way for itself, its citizens and its standing in the world.
