Emergency Meeting Of The Russian Federation Council

Then does that not mean all of Russia is Ukraine's? Let's start that land transfer today.

No. Ukraine literally meaning in Russian language - "Outskirts of Russian Empire" from the time when Russian Empire was centered in Moscow

and Russian law shows Crimea belongs to Ukraine.

Ummm then how did it start in Kiev by Ukrainians? You two don't seem to be on the same page, go ask Putin what the truth is.

No, Russian law is this "Russkaya pravda"

1. If a man kills a man: then a brother avenges a brother, or a son avenges a father, or a cousin, or a nephew; if no one will take revenge, then 80 grivnas for the murdered; if he be a knyaz’s man or knyaz’s official; but if he be a rusin, or a grid' (a lower-ranking druzhinnik), or a merchant, or a boyar’s official, or a mechnik (swordsman), or an exile, or a slovenin (Novgorodian), then 40 grivnas for the murdered.

No - Russian law shows Crimea as a part of Ukraine - 1954.

a reply to: Xcathdra

No, it is USSR Nikita Krhrushev gift to UkrSSR in commeration of 300 years from reuniting what is called today Russia and Ukraine

a reply to: kitzik

So you are saying Crimea was not given to Ukraine?

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

I'm saying it should be called Taurida , ok

a reply to: kitzik

The USSR gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954.
Russia again reaffirmed and recognized Crimea as a part of Ukraine in 1994 in the Budapest document.

Russia has no legs to stand on as they illegally invaded Ukraine and illegally occupy Ukrainian Crimea.

Taurida... You really want to go back to the start of the 1800's?

a reply to: kitzik

I don't care about the name. Was it part of the Ukraine or not?

a reply to: Xcathdra

Taurida... You really want to go back to the start of the 1800's?

Well, Taurida is before 1800's - it is original Greek name.

Crimea is Turkic word, they invaded after Greeks/Goths/briefly Slaves.

Also Taurida like Crimea ( Crime) is symbolical name lol

a reply to: kitzik

right.. which has nothing to do with the fact Crimea is a part of Ukraine and has been an acknowledged part since 1954 under USSR law, and again under the Budapest document.

a reply to: kitzik

I see you simply refuse to answer questions you don't like.

a reply to: Xcathdra

May be ... I'm not exactly arguing about this. I started with translation of Ukraine to Russian language, you responded that Crimea belongs to Ukraine, like a milllion-th time.

The fact is that Autonomous republic of Crimea was part of Ukraine till 2014 and it was stripped of many autonomous rights.
So they decided to be "annexed" by Russia

I see you simply refuse to answer questions you don't like.

I'm not sure whether you indeed appreciate my honest answers or treating them as a slight trolling ?

a reply to: kitzik

No, Ukraine was invaded by Russia and Ukrainian Crimea was occupied prior to the sham election.

*Applauds*

That was a beautiful re-enactment guys....spot on. Love the Putin impersonation.

Slightly back on topic.....Now what?

You did not answer at all. It's a Yes or No question. Was Crimea part of the Ukraine?

We wait for Putin to come up with another lie to "justify" Russian armed forces invading (continuing) Ukraine.
