  1. russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 did NOT lead to the invasion of Ukraine. russia's annexation of Crimea WAS the (initial) invasion of Ukraine. Get it right.

  2. ​ @junicohen7918 Over the last 100+ years Crimea was russian for a mere 9 years (1945-1954). Before that it was a republic of the USSR. After that it was a part of Ukraine. russia has no valid claim.

  7. ​ @marcusaetius9309  Crimea has NOT been part of russia since 1771. In the last 100+ years it was part of russia only for the nine years of 1945-1954. Turkey has a more valid claim than russia has.
