Sturgeon calling

[BCram]

Surprised that the population of Ukraine is 44m. Those leaving seem to be about 2m. NATO have been poking the bear but I think it is as a result of the requests from the former Soviet countries who "escaped" to form their own political leaderships.
Looks to me that Crimea and access to the ports might be the solution. Like the partition of Cypress which came about when Turkey came to the aid if Turkish Cypriots after a military coup backed by Athens.
Need to look at the maps to see what Putin is really after.

Putin wants a land border from Russia to Crimea which he stole in 2014.
