Who should control the Crimea and why?

If anything it would be the best if Crimea could be an independent country. However it was known that Crimea was given up by Russia when Soviet union has perished, and was given to the Republican of Ukraine. On the other hand, Russia now claims to be theirs and wants it back. Considering the specs of the government, gdp, and environment, Russia is more suited to take control of this country.

The real answer is that Russia needed a port in the black sea for trade and influence. Also the old Russian empire fought the Ottomans to gain this territory. Back then in the Russian Empire era, There was no such thing as Ukrainian country nor a group. Even the now days Ukrainians have a different culture and dialect. West, East,North and  east Pontic steppe which are way more closer to Russia. Russia believed the Crimea and eastern Ukraine belongs to Russia. The reason for today's hatred of the Ukrainian people towards the Russians is that during Stalins soviet era, he starved many Ukrainians over 5 million died. The treatment of the Ukrainians was so bad that even when the Nazis arrived in the Ukraine during WW2, it was seen as liberation.

Explanation:  Why aren't Arabs In one country is the same as saying why aren't Slavs in the same country. its hard for an eastern slave to understand western Slav and same for the Arabs. Russia believes it self to be the ruler and the king of all Slavs in the first place. there are over 450 million Arabs and many are split . there used to be an Arab empire that united all the Arabs and that was basically the Russian empire for the Slavic world back then. The Crimea was never going to be a Ukrainian land until nikita khrushchev gave the land to the Ukraine for better a better economic to the Ukrainian soviet republic. so who should control Crimea, Russia

Main reasons

2.Crimea is majority Russian.

3.Ukraine was created in 1918 and was never really a country. The region of the Ukraine was inhabited by many peoples over history like golden hordes, the Turks, Russians, Germans, Romans. So Russians view Ukraine's legitimacy very low.

5.Putin wants to revive Russia to be a super power again.
