      Yes. However Russia has claimed it years before this conflict and threatened retaliation if westerners interfere. It’s why all of the supplies we give are only used in Ukraine. The attacks on Russian soil are not with Western supplies intentionally and this would be no different.

        No, it claimed when conflict started. Just before February Putin didn’t go any further.

            This is correct. Statement that Crimea was annexed before conflict started is incorrect.

              Maybe I’m misunderstanding please correct me. Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014 no? The current crisis started much later than that no? (Even though technically many consider them connected for obvious reasons.)

                No, crisis wasn’t ended, it was paused.
