Maybe because people setting sanctions know that Crimea is not a victim, and most of its population supported joining Russia, and hope that making their life harder may reduce the support.

- ShinTakuya 7y agoI don't support Crimea's situation because I'm not a fan of the Russian government, but to play devil's advocate, if Crimea were to be returned to Ukraine, wouldn't that then make Crimea a victim given it's not what its people desire? So the sanctions are in favour of making Crimea a victim?

- buran 7y agoYeah, because those who didn't like joining Russia are arrested and/or killed. Russians have their unofficial name "katsaps" (butchers) for reason. Nobody asked population of Crimea anything. Nobody asks a sheep is it agree to be shaved.
- chr1 7y agoDo you have information how many were arrested or killed, i know only about Sentsov.
