> If you're looking to history - this event mirrors Kosovo, just with roles reversed. With the "minor" difference that Serbia was committing ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, while no such thing happened in Crimea. > The big difference is that the one remained relatively peaceful with no further largescale escalation. Ukraine, by contrast, was determined to retake Crimea and clearly had the full backing of the West. That's completely false. Crimean border has been more peaceful than Kosovo-Serbia border.
