I told Feo/Snow he should poke his head around here since one of your story arcs needs him, but he didn't reply (on Steam). If all fails, bug him with PMs through here.
But you're implying - or at least it seems like - that their actions were loosely justified because of the Russian ethnic majority and Crimea's short history as part of Ukraine. That logic is flawed, to say the least.
I don't think you're in support of their actions though. It just seemed like you were trying to defend their actions a bit there.
Still think Russia was wrong in invading. Still think the referendum was illegal.
Crimea was part of Ukraine. It doesn't matter if it's only been a few decades, or if half of its citizens were ethnic Russians. Crimea was, at that point in time, rightly Ukrainian.
