  1. In Crimea in 2014 and until 2014, 60% of the population were Russians, 24% Tatars and 16% Ukrainians. Russians in Crimea until 2014 were 60% of the population, and only 16% of Ukrainians. Crimea is an absolutely Russian territory, where the majority of the population is Russian, and Ukrainians are a minority of the population. It's just that Crimea, by mistake of the Soviet government, became part of Ukraine in 1954. But this is Russian territory. And in 2014, this Russian territory returned to its native harbor with the full support of the local population. And the Ukrainian army left the Crimea without a fight, giving it to our troops, which again proves that this is Russian territory. Because if it was Ukrainian land, the Ukrainians would not have given it away without firing a shot.

  3. So tell me, at least one country in the UN, which in March 2014 voted against Russia over Crimea, generally understood the issue of what happened? That's where Russia, Ukraine and Crimea are located geographically, and where, say, Brazil is located geographically. These are different parts of the world. And what do you think, do Australians, Argentines, Mexicans or Thais have anything to do with Russia, Ukraine and Crimea? No. They didn’t even understand the essence of the problem, they didn’t understand what happened, who was right and who was wrong, they didn’t understand history, but they, without understanding, voted against Russia. But when America bombed Serbia for the sake of secession of Kosovo, this was ignored by the UN

  4.  @jameshilsdon1494  For some reason, you also highlight only those moments of history that are beneficial to you, forgetting that Ukraine gained independence in 1991, and we took Crimea only in 2014. And for all 23 years of Ukraine’s independence, until 2014, we were satisfied with the fact that Crimea was a friendly country. But in 2014, a Western-sponsored coup d'état took place in Ukraine, and the pro-Russian government voted for by the Russian-populated regions of southeastern Ukraine was overthrown. There was enormous uncertainty and turbulence. And in order to protect the right of the Russian people to self-determination, we took Crimea.

  7. Russia, since 2014, has been trying to resolve the conflict peacefully, diplomatically for 8 years. However, the Minsk agreements, according to which the Donbass was to become part of Ukraine as autonomous Russian republics, no one wanted to fulfill. In 2021, Russia held talks with NATO in Switzerland. It is not surprising that when the diplomatic methods of solving the problem were exhausted, the war broke out. It couldn't have been otherwise. Always after the failure of the negotiations starts the war. As for Russia, for 8 years Russia tried to push the Donbass back into Ukraine, but Ukraine did not want to comply with the Minsk agreements and got a war. In fact, the Minsk agreements were a sham for Russia. Ukraine was given 8 years to prepare

  9.  @brokendrifter4626  I think you can answer your own question, "do we have the right to come and take your land." You did just that in 1999 in Serbia, tearing away Kosovo. Kosovo wanted to join Albania

  13.  @theyoutubepsychologist5706  The point here is not that once upon a time Russia owned some territories. The point here is that in Crimea in 2014, 60% of the population were Russians. And only 16% are Ukrainians. And this factor is placed above the additional factor that Crimea is a historical Russian territory that was Russian before this territory with a majority Russian population was transferred to Ukraine in 1954.
