I think they call it the “reality metric”. Russia owns and occupies the land and makes the laws there as they have for the last 10 years. The citizens who live there overwhelmingly consider themselves Russian.
Political power grows from the barrel of a gun, so to speak.
Yeah, exactly. Those who didn’t consider themselves Russians have been purged long ago, forcibly deported and driven out from their lands since the early Soviet times.
Tatars and Ukrainians have been targets of ethnic cleansing since a long time in Crimea, and therefore Russia should be granted the land as a prize. Just like with Koenigsberg Kaliningrad, it’s very easy, if you kill and deport everyone in an area, then that area is yours.
How will that happen and how will that end the war? Ukraine wants Crimea which is 100% Russian.
100% by what metric? Unironically curious, lol
