QuoteRussia's 2014 annexation of Crimea.
Fuck that. The author is ignorant.
QuoteCatherine the Great annexed Crimea in 1783 after a series of military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire, aiming to expand Russian territory and influence in the region. Her journey to Crimea in 1787 was a significant event that showcased her power and the Russian Empire's ambitions.
Russian troops were legally present before 2014, and in 2014 the people voted. Ukraine is a construct, founded in fascist roots.
