The toppling of Viktor Yanukovych after refusing to join the EU in a US sponsored revolution is what caused annexing Crimea. Crimea represents access to the black sea a very strategic location that is 90% Russian.

The black sea a very strategic location that is 90% Russian.

Between 55-80 percent of the people in these regions identify as Ukrainian, according to the most recent census.

They may also speak Russian (to some degree), but that doesn't mean they consider themselves to be ethnically "Russian", or are desperate to be reunited with the Motherland.

It just means that Ukraine is a bilingual country.

You may want to take a serious look at what sources you are pulling such obviously misleading figures from.

And in particular: at who is presenting these misleading narratives to you, and why.

You say this like the latter is a perfectly reasonable reaction to the former (which is already a gross misrepresentation of events), when in fact it is completely unreasonable.
