Quit deflecting from my question. How much longer will pootin control crimea?
I am not deflecting, I am providing context. Here is your direct answer : Putin will control Crimea until the day he dies. After he is dead, Russia will control Crimea, as it is now a part of Crimea. Long response:
Russia has controlled Crimea for the last 12 years, since its annexation in 2014 after the Maidan revolution in Kyiv. The referendum was held under Russian military occupation, without OSCE monitoring, and was rejected by the UN, US, EU, and Ukraine as illegal and unconstitutional. A group of self-appointed international observers - including one American analyst - stated the vote met international standards. Over 3,600 people requested help leaving Crimea afterward, and the coercive atmosphere - with Ukrainian media shut down and intimidation reported - suggests the voter pool was skewed toward those willing to accept Russian rule.
I hope this clarifies.
Note that this:
How long will pootin control Crimea? Days, weeks, months, or over years?
and this:
I bet you all of your fg that pootin loses Crimea before he takes control of Ukraine.
are not one and the same, noting Russia is not trying to take control over all of Ukraine (Russia would need an Army 5 times the size of the current one it has).
