I wonder if you really understand what „natives“ mean in the context of Crimea. E.g. Eastern Slavs were present there long before conquest by Ottoman Turks, so technically Crimean Tatars can be called colonizers, which wiped or assimilated the original population of the peninsula. Even if we start calling them natives, the sequence that you described is a nonsense. Crimea became part of Ukraine only after Tatars were resettled by Stalin, so this could not be part of some plan of Russia to take it from Ukraine. It was already Russian, with Russian population bigger than Ukrainian.
