Ukraine and Russia are two Slavic friendly people, they can not fight each other. All claims are simply meaningless.

Open your eyes and look. Russia only pretends to be a friendly state. In fact, this aggressive Imperial state which considers a neighboring state as a target for expansion of their territories. In the Donbass now there is a real war of Russia against Ukraine. Crimea is Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian.

Since when did Crimea became Ukrainian territory? In 1954, right? Two hundred years before that, the territory was under the rule of Crimean Muslims, who used the ports of Crimea to ship Russian and Ukrainian slaves to the Ottoman Empire. The slave trade came to an end when the Russian Empire annexed Crimea in 1783.

Good point, Sithara.

Ukrainians have this national legend, that it was communists who destroyed the country, yet it was precisely evil Soviets, which formed country in its pre-2013 borders. Crimea was never part of any local state, sans slavetrading Tatar muslim Khanate.

Yes. Ukraine was an artificial country created by the Soviets to split the majority Slavic population. And the Muslim rule of Crimea lasted only 300 years (from 15th cen. to 1783). Before that, it was inhabited by ethnic Slavs for thousands of years.
