It's been proven for months now that Russia purposefully involved itself in putting people into Crimea to sway this election after it was forcibly annexed by Russian military forces trying to veil their actions by claiming to be freedom fighters. Considering that Russia is currently harboring the ex-president of Ukraine and has been trying to to delegitimate their free election to overturn a dictator under Put in's thumb we should absolutely refuse to acknowledge any and all Russian attempts to reclaim any part of Ukraine.
