> Russian military action in Ukraine was for the purpose of protecting its sovereign borders and access to the Black Sea.

Without Crimea Russia won't have access to Black Sea? Or it will lose her borders?

Please clarify.

Are you ignorant to the fact that the port of Sevastopol is host to Russia's Black Sea Fleet? Do you realize that Sevastopol was founded as a Russian naval port in 1783 and that Crimea has been Russian for over 250 years?

Russia as a country exists only for ~25 years.

Also even it had Crimea for thousand years before, it still won't matter - they've signed numerous international agreement s which stated that Crimea belongs to Ukraine.

I wish you the best of luck in all that you do
