He is overstating facts, but he is right in essence. It made sense for the inhabitants of Crimea to want Russian annnexation. Salaries and pensions are higher in Russia, especially for public servants. Not 10 times higher, but still. Same thing with referendum, the one Russia hastily organized was a joke, but independent polls were showing preference for annexation anyway.
