The thing with Crimea is a weird fuckup by Khruschev in 1954. Crimea belonged to Russia/USSR since 1783 and was majorly populated by Russians, and aligns itself quite clearly with Russia.
Then in 1954 Kruschev had the (now in hindsight) moronic idea to transfer it to Ukraine for the sake of "unity". Back then this was just a weird political gesture with little importance as it was under the domain of the USSR all the same.
But then the USSR fell apart, and suddenly that Crimea now belonged to Ukraine mattered, and Crimea left with Ukraine. Now Russia is suddenly in a situation where a good chunk of population that considers themselves to be Russians, and a place that contains an important military base is outside of Russia.
Picture it like this: in some weird political gesture, the US President declares that some chunk of land formerly having its own existence inside the US, containing very strategically important US military assets as well as a population that overwhelmingly thinks of themselves as American, now belongs to Puerto Rico. People raise their eyebrows but it goes through, until 50 years later the US breaks apart, and suddenly some uber-important military asset and an American-identifying, English speaking population now belongs to a separate country, that's not on the same wavelength as what remains of the US anymore.
So why does Russia want Crimea so badly? Because Crimea only belongs to Ukraine by a weird gesture made 50 years ago, but which had effectively no meaning until the USSR broke apart, and because it's a strategically important place. Crimea seems to want to belong to Russia anyway, which is unsurprising given the population and that the military base is bound to Russia.
Why did Russia feel the need to give Crimea to Ukraine at the time, what was the issue?
@@jewellui at that time they were one country so it wouldn’t matter and also it was a prize for Ukraine to show that Moscow was grateful. After the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, there was a shift in posture towards the other republics. In an attempt to reconcile the relationship with the Ukrainian SSR, Nikita Khrushchev, along with the other leadership of the Soviet Union, transferred the Crimean Oblast from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR.
@@jewellui ukraine needed money basically, kruschev was ukrainian
Lithuania went all the way down to the Black Sea for almost 800 years, sooooooooo maybe
Crimea belonged to Russia/USSR since 1783 just ignoring the fact they yet again Annexed it. Alaska was giving away also by Russia why don't they try and take that back by force? Because they know the consequences.
Propaganda on Sky News
FEAR FEAR FEAR !
only.
plus BBC..
Russia are the bullies
Not really. There is speculation about the legitimacy of the referendum
First Ukrainian communist Khrushchev, who wanted to launch a nuclear missile strike on America, presented Crimea to Ukraine, which was part of the Soviet Union. Russians poured blood on Crimea land not for NATO to be based on its territory.
Russia is the best
So, now lets talk about Kaliningrad, Karelien, etc.
Russian map is inaccurate when showing Catherine the Great's Russia, Most of Northern Ukraine and the Donbass was already under Russian rule for centuaries.
The Crimea belongs to Russia. Russia did the right thing. I disagree with America sending milatary aid to Ukraine!
@@robertcramer1886 shut up it was Ukraine rightfully.Normal nations are not returning land by force and caring about their people instead of taking someones "their rightful land".

Instead of trying to turn the clock back centuries for justification let's look at a recent fact. In 1991 as the USSR was dissolved Crimea adopted a different position in the Ukrainian Republic. It was an autonomous region with its own government.

Crimea-Russia
Putin wants Crimea to be part of Russia because Putin is a dictador, he is old and likes to be in charge of the world
At 0:42 the video says Crimea was annexed by Russia in 1783. From whom did Russia annex Crimea then?
The Russians annexed the Crimean Khanate which was a vassal country of the Turkish empire.
@Hans Heini - I came here from watching the livestream Atlantic Counsel is doing (about Tartars in Crimea),
and the [UA] propagandists there are thanking/confirming Turkey's involvement in UA vs. Russia.
Crimea defeated russia multiple times in history, Ottoman sultans on those days just signed a treaty that is not understandable for any of the people. Ottoman empire defeated russia on prut, after it they still had the chance to stop russia from going down the black sea. if that was so, We wouldnt be arguing about is crimea ukrainian, turkish or russian.
@@TatarProductions well it didn’t so...
Did I just hear a western News talk about stolen land? lol
Russia needs the Crimea for military purposes, it has no ocean front in Russia
We all need ocean front property. Problem is it doesn't belong to them.. It belongs to the people of Ukraine who were pushed out of the region by the Golden Horde.... It doesn't now make it Russia's because of the situation.. rightfully belongs to Ukraine..
@@russelneilv1361 crimea was,is and will always b russian
Russia has plenty of 'ocean front' along the coast from Rostov-on-Don to Krasnodar, including Novorossiysk where the Russian Black Sea fleet - what's left of it - is now based. There's also St Petersburg in the Baltic Sea. It used to be the case that a forward base for a navy, back in the days of sail, was a huge advantage but now, with aircraft and missiles and satellites, it's much less so.
2022: Here we go again...
No mention of the officer who refused to hand over the air base?
The last sentence of this video is very interesting- "Russia has stolen back Crimea". Probably would have been better if Nikita Khrushchev did not give Crimea to Ukraine in the first place. However, hindsight is 20/20. If it is true that Crimea has distinct military advantages to Russia then I think the Russians should have named their invasion of Crimea "Operation Panama".
Still think so?
Difference that Panama never been USA but Native Indians Spanish Latin second but Crimean Russians as they were to begin with Russians att so as Novarossiyia East South and Belarusians in North of Ukraine.
Interesting history of Crimea is that Anglo French vs Russian war took place in Sevastopol Crimea. I heard that also didn't go well for Russian.
@@museumofdrawing965 YES
@@RichardLionheart12 didnt go well for the anglo, french and turkish troops as well
Modern day Ukraine is NOT the historic territory.
@Moskva the Sinkable Get over it.
Agree it included Moscow
The best way to resolve the conflict is give Russia the Donbas / Luhansk regions and let them keep Crimea, then the remainder of Ukraine can become part of NATO and the EU and have a DMZ fence erected between Ukraine and Russia
And what about the reparations to ukraine
Or Putin can just stay in Russia and leave Ukraine alone, including Crimea because it is part of Ukraine
What's the title of that poem 🤣.. the amazing part the Russians took Crimea without a spill of any blood
Any idea the outcome of the Referendum ?
96.7% voted to join russia. Ukranians didn't turn up. Total 83.1% turnout. Western world labels the referendum invalid, even though the ukranian votes wouldn't have made a difference. Maybe it was a corrupt referendum (personally i don't think so) but the fact is 65.3% of the population is russian, and only 15.1% is ukranian. I think the statistics speak for themselves, and the western agenda against russia can't hide the facts.
It is not true that he ethnic balance of the peninsula was changed in favour of Russians by the deportation of Tatars, as Russians had been the major ethnic group long before 1944. According to the 1926 census Russians made up 42.2%, Tatars 25.1%. By 1939, the number of Russians increased to 49.6%, while the number of tataes Tatars decreased to 19.4%. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Crimea
Bonjour n that case also Cecily in Mediterranean Sea used to belong to North Africa until the Roman took it from us .
So basically the Crimea DOES belong to Russia
They chose to give it away. Hindsight is 20/20
Can't sell or give something to someone and expect them to give it back
looks that way
@@FrogmanLeaps The "give away" was not done legally and was mostly symbolic as both Russia and Ukraine were part of Soviet Russia at the time....and the "give away" was done in good will to promote the unity of Russia and Ukraine..
Yes but salty and butthurt people wont accept it
A sparkling jewel
who am I to say? If the Crimean people wanted to go back to their mother Russia? Let them then. They voted this overwhelmingly
who am I to say? If the Texan or New Mexican, or Arizona people wanted to go back to their mother Mexico? Let them then. They voted this overwhelmingly
@@fidenemini111 when did they vote for that?
Remember. Ukraine had an elected leader who resisted Russian pressure - Victor Yushchenko - and Russia poisoned him to the point of death, like many other opponents. History must be a guide for Ukraine and Russia today. The Crimean people did not want to go back to their mother.
@@DHEAS11 they said IF

@Crimea Is Russia : freedom of expression, live free or die
And they say that only the Russians and dictators of the world who deals in prpaganda
For some reason, the story "forgot" the centuries-old history of the Crimean Khanate. It is presented here as if before the conquest of Crimea by Russia there was simply a conglomeration of peoples. They also forgot about the history of Crimea after the fall of the Russian Revolution. At that time, Crimea was Ukrainian for some time. Surprisingly, they forgot about the genocide of the Crimean Tatars, did not indicate the reason for the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine and at whose expense Crimea was rebuilt in the twentieth century.
Nonsense !
they did not forget,,,
The lie with intent ..
They want to pretend that Crimea is Ukraine !
western propaganda does not want it to be known that Crimea is not historically part of Ukraine, nor does Ukraine have a right of ownership to Crimea.
western propaganda does not want it known that Crimea had its own parliament and autonomy and that Crimea wanted independence from Ukraine as far back as 1992.
western propaganda wants everyone to believe that Russia invaded Crimea and stole it from Ukraine .
western propaganda does not want anyone to know, that Crimea left Ukraine, legally and democratically, in response to the misdeeds of the US imposed government in Kiev.
Pile of Bullshit biach
Ukraine rebuilt modern Crimea!!!....Ah yes the wealthy State of Ukraine begging for weapons from the West..
Ah yes the people who ran the slave trade
my great great great grandfather migrated from germany to crimea in 1810 and built a very successful farm in crimea, a village called Kronental... until the zionists kicked them out and killed them in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Why did Khrushchov give it to Ukraine? As it was in Russia
As gift to Ukraine for 300 years of joining Russian Empire. Novorussia was given to Ukraine too in 1922 and Karpathian region ( from Czechoslovakia ) after 1945. Originally Ukraine was quite small. It become big and multi ethnic in Soviet Union (huge Russian population, but another minority like Hungarians aa well). Now they can't deal with it, because they trying force Ukrainian language on everyone.

Crimea is just the english name for it, in swedish its "krim"
Very honest reporting. If this was the story that all of Western media ran with back in 2014, actually explaining the situation, there would not be so much hostility and there may have never been war in Ukraine today.
we dont care in the end who it belongs to, we care about aggresive behaviour and unofficial referendums that are higlghy biased from aggresor perspective
How is it honest if it describes Crimean's as overwhelmingly wanting to be part of Russia, described the country as being part of Russia since the time of Catherine the Great, yet concludes by saying Putin stole it? It's mixed and incompatible messaging.
That's just rubbish, the Russians already had Crimea, the reason we have a war in Ukraine is that Putin saw that nobody did anything when he forcibly took Crimea & thought the same would happen when he invaded Ukraine. Weakness is never rewarded in the long run...
I am not saying that Crimea shouldn't be Russian, perhaps it should, however, even if that is the case the Russians cannot force the Ukrainians to supply them with water - that is the choice of the Ukrainians.

russian soldier 👁👁 ?
Crimea was first settled by the Greeks 2000 years ago and then by the Byzantine empire and then controlled by Venetians through till medieval times. It was then Conquered by the Mongols, then mostly settled by Crimean Tatars in the sphere of Ottoman influence. It was then annexed by the Russians in the 1700s. The Ukrainian population of the peninsula has never been over 25%. It's been Russian dominated since 1900s when the Russian population outgrew the Crimean Tatars. This is why the majority of the population want to be part of Russia. For anyone to think Crimea belongs to Ukraine is totally ignorant of history.
@@Civil_Ian the people who live there are mostly russian and have been for centuries. When polled they say they want to be part of Russia. So it makes sense that it's part of Russia.

Why Disputed? There is nothing to dispute, other than strong headed opinions of some there in Kyiv. For someone in America to gift Maine from America to Canada, two thirds of the lawmakers on Capitol Hill have to sign a gift bill put up on the lawmakers floor, and then after 400 lawmakers signs it, the President of the United States signs it when ti is put up on his desk. Gift document did not have the signature of Khrushchev. The gift process attempting to gift Crimea peninsula from Russia to Ukraine was incomplete. well Secretary General Nikita Khrushchev tried to gift Crimea from Russian inner kingdom province of USSR to Ukraine province in 1954: he had three lawmakers (then the lawmakers were called political-bureau) who has smaller office rooms in his office building. The role of the Secretary General of the Soviet Union was similar to the role of the President of America. He cannot gift away land all on his own. only three lawmakers signed the gift document, whose offices were in the Secretary General's office, and sat in smaller chambers of the office of Secretary General. There was NO signature of the Secretary General Nikita Khrushchev. The three lawmakers were the only three people and they were members of certain lawmakers committees, such as communist leaders family relation association, another was a member of lawmakers foreign relation committee, etc. To gift land, as per law of the Soviet union tho thirds of the lawmakers of the gifting country (Russian Federation) have to sign the gifting document. However only three signatures could be obtained. When a messenger went from the third lawmaker to the fourth lawmaker with the document, the messenger boy came back with a bloody nose or a black eye every time he asked the remaining three hundred lawmakers to sign the gift bill to gift Crimea from Rusia to Ukraine.
Finally RENT dispute::: Finally in about 1961 or so, Khrushchev asked that lawmakers sign a bill approving the Soviet union pay Kyiv for rent of military base in Kyiv or Crimea. That's when the confusions arose. He just told them not to ask questions of ownership, as Kyiv needs the rent money at the time.
I don expect these guys to be siding with Russia
Nonsense. The law in the ussr was whatever the party said it was. They gave Crimea, it is done.

Reporter bro are u still alive ?
That is one reasonable question!
Every single European neighbour of Russia was unilaterally invaded by Russians or Soviets in the past, and the whole of eastern Europe hates Kremlin, not only because of past invasions and occupations but also because of the governance system of Russia, which is based on the worship of authority, the cult of personality and - yes - serfdom and serf mentality. Add to it extreme militarism and brutality inherited from Mongols and Tatars and there is nothing that could even remotely attract any potential allies. The only supporters of Russia are decrepit one-party totalitarian states with a genocidal history China etc,

@@sirkermitthefirstoffrogeth9622 It was a sham referendum. Exactly the same tactic was used in Luhansk and Donetsk. They fabricate "votes" saying that the people there want to be part of ruzzia and then send troops there to "maintain peace". And if anyone tries to take it back, ruzzia justifies it (to their own people, so they don't revolt) by killing even more, saying that "they had to". People back home accept it and stay silent. When in fact they should be doing the exact opposite. But they won't, since there's no longer independent journalism in ruzzia so they don't have access to information. Every media outlet there is controlled by the government.
