    But does Ukraine really want Crimea back? Isn’t it completely russified now?

      Just the dirt is worth a lot. Even if Russia conducted a genocide without anyone noticing, and all the buildings flat.

        Is that just because it was Russia’s best naval base? It was also the ussr vacation destination, but I’m not really up to date on Putin’s bullshit excuses for invasion.

          Yeah, the naval base is the big thing.

          For Ukraine, it’s about the principle of the matter. Taking Crimea back would mean “we are a real country and you can’t push us around.”
