Even before the annexation, crimea was mostly pro-russian. If anything there should be another referendum, but this time with guarantees.
Edit: I know the right to self-determination is controversial, you may not like what others decide for themselves, that’s your business; but please don’t bother if you just want to talk nonsense, misrepresent or putting words in my mouth. Thanks.
Do you mean the referendum that was held after Russian forces had annexed it? The one that they claimed received a 97% vote for the integration? That referendum?
Yeah, I’m sure that was legit.
The last time they were polled about this, 66% was for joining, and the trend for that number was going down. Some other figures were much lower to begin with. I do agree with you that it would be interesting to know now where that number would actually, truthfully be.
Lol, a Russian guarantee? Are those two words supposed to mean something real just because they’re shoved together in the same sentence?
For example, are you referring to a guarantee like the 1994 Budapest Memorandum where newly independent Ukraine gave up its nukes in exchange for promises of protection from the US, France, and Russia? Like that guarantee?
Yeah, no. Russian guarantees pretty much all work out the same way.
Good start, but they’ll need to stop imagining they can keep Crimea.
