We're in 2023, where the war in Donbas has erupted into an all out ground war in Ukraine covering at least 3x as much area, by comparison the original fight was a small scale conflict...
This is that kind of nitpicking where you just make yourself seem lost in the conversation by taking an argumentative tone: Crimea and Donbas are both just examples of why pining for a world where borders are seen as flexible and flowing doesn't make sense.
We're in a fully globalized world. Things are past the stage where anyone besides large countries looking to bully are able to move borders and keep them there. It doesn't really take propaganda to understand why that is: just looking at the current world is enough.
