Wake up Vlad, look at the calendar. It's not 1956 or 1968.
You should really try reading a bit of history.

On 19 February 1954, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union issued a decree transferring the Crimean Oblast from the RSFSR to the Ukrainian SSR.[22]

The Crimea was always historically Russian and still has a majority Russian population today. It has as much to do with modern day Ukraine as Patagonia. I'm guessing that the Russians struck a secret deal with the EU and NATO where they get Crimea in exchange for a westernized Ukraine that eventually becomes part of the EU. A similar bargain was struck in Georgia a few years back. The Ukraine as it exists today is not sustainable.
