    From the rest of the world’s point of view, Ukraine had already accepted it’s loss in 2014.

    It was only when Russia went “well we’ll have the rest of the country as well then!” that all the other countries decided to help out. Because Europe’s been here before. Nobody stops after just one country. It’s like Jaffa Cakes. You just keep going until there’s none left.

        It means that giving up Crimea doesn’t end in peace, it’s just pushing the problem to the next time Russia decides to invade again.
