Imagine how close they could be if Russia wasn't illegally invading and trying to steal land and resources? If Russia acted like a normal fucking country instead of a corrupt shithole.

Do tell us how close we were when r*ssian propaganda was allowed for 20 years, when r*tards from sevastopol always whined how they are being mistreated, how tatars became even more of a second grade citizens on their own land. How it was 'bloodless' occupation, how everyone in crimea was r*ssian speaking, do tell. I'm all ears, it's not like here are people that actually lived in crimea for whole their lives before occupation, right?
