Russia has annexed Crimea. ANNEXED!

Russian tanks, grads and soldiers are killing people in Ukraine every day This cannot have any excuses.

Your logic makes me feel disgust.

> Russia has annexed Crimea. ANNEXED!

Afaik, that was a decision of the people who live in Crimea on the referendum. It is like Brexit or referendum in Scotland. For example, now UK leaves EC, so in the same way Crimea has left Ukrain. It is how democracy works.

1. Does it look like legitimate "referendum" to you? http://pda.pravo.ru/store/doc/image/20160316120226.jpg

2. Constitution of Ukraine states that only citizens of whole country and not locals can decide such questions, _ANY_ local referendum regarding sovereignty is illegal.

So NO IT IS NOT LIKE BREXIT or referendum in Scotland. Ukraine is unitary country.

So it is how russian troops work not democracy.
