There are evidences that Crimea annexation had been prepared for few years before any unrests. There are photos of paramilitary people with Donetsk "People Republic" flags at Russian summer camp Seliger in 2009. Relentless Russian propaganda has been translated all over Eastern Ukraine and Crimea for ten years.

Don't get me started on "Putin did not start what happened in Ukraine".

Eh... Propaganda has been so strong on both sides that I doubt we will ever know the truth.

Personally, I'm very conflicted on the question of Crimea and don't think I can comment or discuss unbiasedly.
