This should have been one of the Brexit bonuses. The UK should have just told the EU that it's their problem - sort it. Unfortunately Boris chose to granstand. That wa stupid. He's just made the UK a major target for Russia and chosen to fund a proxy war with Russia that Ukraine can never win.
It's actually all an American proxy war that we're financing. And the grinning monkey, Rashid Sanuk, has gone along with it. Fucking crazy.
Yes, the UK could have told the EU that they were on their own and stayed neutral. But we couldn't afford to take that neutral stance since Brexit forced the UK into a position where it had to stand with the US in order for the UK to, hopefully, recoup what it had lost economically (by leaving the EU) with a supposedly massive trade deal with the US.
Crimea was part of Russia from 1783, when the Tsarist Empire annexed it a decade after defeating Ottoman forces in the Battle of Kozludzha, until 1954, when the Soviet government transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Federation of Socialist Republics (RSFSR) to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (UkrSSR). The transfer was announced in the Soviet press in late February 1954, eight days after the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet adopted a resolution authorizing the move on 19 February. The text of the resolution and some anodyne excerpts from the proceedings of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet meeting on 19 February were published along with the very brief announcement.[1] Nothing else about the transfer was disclosed at the time, and no further information was made available during the remainder of the Soviet era.
