Hello!
I expect these issues and do not mind to answer them
1. Crimea - is the historical land of Russia, the Ukraine in control. Even the status of Crimea says a lot: Crimea - is an autonomous republic. It is understood that the residents of the Crimea - a Russian people. They suffered a lot and could tolerate and on, but when 2 million people want to deprive them of their language - it's horrible. We have friends and relatives in the Crimea. And they supported the referendum - is the main argument for me. It is understood that if not for the support of the population, Russia would not even think about returning to the Crimea. But everything happened as it happened.
It should also be borne in mind that Russia is ready to do anything to protect the Crimea. I think it understands and Ukraine.
2. The overthrow of power in Ukraine - is a crime. However, Russia has taken the point of view of the new authorities. But the prosecution Russia all the troubles of Ukraine - it's just a search for the culprit in his own impotence. To date, with regard to business in Russia, we personally do not want to work with Ukrainian enterprises. We just want Ukraine to leave us alone. The Soviet Union left Ukraine 60% of its industry. They were able in 23 years to destroy the entire industry, economy and history. We do not want them to know more, but we will all who want to live in Russia.
3. There is the same situation as with the Crimea. The root cause of discontent began to ban Russian language. Then there were minor clashes. Then people in the East of Ukraine began to shoot. They had two solutions. The first - to accept, give yourself to humiliate and bait. The second - to seek independence. They chose the second option with all its consequences. There is particular fact - East of Ukraine did not demand independence, and wanted to federalization. New Ukrainian authorities decided to show strength, but did not consider the response.
4. Sanctions have the opposite reaction. Russia's economy has suffered greatly because of sanctions, but also the economy of Europe, too. It should be understood that Russia - this is not North Korea or even Iran. We have a huge territory, resources, science, military and ... ambitions. In the long term sanctions have the opposite reaction. We are able to provide themselves with food, and if the sanctions continue - we completely close the demand for foreign products. In this case, the place for European companies no longer remain altogether. The Russian economy has a budget surplus, our public debt to 13% of gross domestic product. We are not going to die of hunger and the business does not stop, but Russia will become angrier and will take violent solutions. This is necessary to think. It should also be noted that Russia does not actually impose sanctions against the West. And if Russia will introduce sanctions? For example, locked in the Northern Seas and flights over its territory? Sanctions - this is a bad solution to the problems.
5. First arming terrorists against Assad, and then fight with them - it's stupid. In Russia, there is an expression: do not dig another hole - he will enter into it.
