Your so senseless. What made Putin annex Crimea in the first place if it wasn't for his greed? Answer that op.
Crimea used to belong to Russia and was a gift to Ukraine. So what is wrong in taking it back? When you want the enemies to have access to the place.

Ukraine: Zelenskyy seeks peace despite expected Russian attacks
Ukrainian leader says he is still committed to pressing for peace, renewed his plea for more weapons.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is committed to pressing for peace despite Russian attacks on civilians and he renewed his plea for more weapons ahead of an expected surge in fighting in the country’s east.
Zelenskyy made the comments a day after at least 52 people were killed in an attack on a train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk, and as evidence of civilian killings came to light after Russian troops failed to seize the capital Kyiv where he has hunkered down.
“No one wants to negotiate with a person or people who tortured this nation. It’s all understandable. And as a man, as a father, I understand this very well,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We don’t want to lose opportunities, if we have them, for a diplomatic solution.”
Wearing the olive drab that has marked his transformation into a wartime leader, he looked visibly exhausted yet animated by a drive to persevere.
He spoke from inside the presidential office complex, where windows and hallways are protected by towers of sandbags and heavily armed soldiers.
“We have to fight, but fight for life. You can’t fight for dust when there is nothing and no people. That’s why it is important to stop this war,” Zelenskyy said.
Russian troops that withdrew from northern Ukraine are now regrouping for what is expected to be an intensified push to retake the eastern Donbas region, including the besieged port city of Mariupol that Ukrainian fighters are striving to defend.
The president said those defenders are tying up “a big part of the enemy forces”, characterising the battle to hold Mariupol as “the heart of the war” right now.
Zelenskyy said he is confident Ukrainians would accept peace despite the horrors they have witnessed in the more than six-week-long war.
Those included gruesome images of bodies of civilians found in yards, parks and city squares and buried in mass graves in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha after Russian troops withdrew.
Ukrainian and Western leaders have accused Moscow of war crimes.
Russia has claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged. It also put the blame on Ukraine for the train station attack in Kramatorsk as thousands of people rushed to flee ahead of an expected Russian offensive.
Despite hopes for peace, Zelenskyy acknowledged that he must be “realistic” about the prospects for a swift resolution given that negotiations have so far been limited to low-level talks that do not include Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy showed a palpable resignation and frustration when asked whether the supplies of weapons and other equipment his country has received from the United States and other Western nations were enough to turn the tide of the war.
“Not yet,” he said, switching to English for emphasis. “Of course it’s not enough.”
Still, he noted that there has been increased support from Europe and said deliveries of US weapons have been accelerating.
Just this week, neighbouring Slovakia, a European Union member, donated its Soviet-era S-300 air defence system to Ukraine in response to Zelenskyy’s appeal to help “close the skies” to Russian warplanes and missiles.
Some of that support has come through visits by European leaders.
After meeting Zelenskyy in Kyiv earlier on Saturday, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said he expects more EU sanctions against Russia even as he defended his country’s opposition to cutting off deliveries of Russian natural gas.
The US, EU and UK responded to the images from Bucha with more sanctions, including ones targeting Putin’s adult daughters.
While the EU went after the Russian energy sector for the first time by banning coal, it has so far failed to agree on cutting off the much more lucrative oil and natural gas that is funding Putin’s war chest.
Europe relies on those supplies to generate electricity, fill fuel tanks and keep industry churning.
British PM Boris Johnson also made an
unannounced visit to meet Zelenskyy, with his office saying they discussed Britain’s “long-term support”.
In Kyiv on Friday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen presented Ukraine’s leader with a questionnaire marking the first step for applying for EU membership.
The head of the bloc’s executive arm said the process for completing the questionnaire could take weeks – an unusually fast turnaround – though securing membership would take far longer.

How I wish this war ends soon rather than some insisting that it must on the battlefield to deter Russia at Ukrainian Human cost..

MOSCOW, April 8. /TASS/. As many as 160 settlements have been liberated in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) by today, DPR’s leader, Denis Pushilin, said on Friday.
"We understand it perfectly well that they (Ukrainian troops - TASS) will only leave scorched land. We have seen it even in small settlements we liberate. As of today, as many as 160 settlements have already been liberated [in the DPR]," he said on journalist Anton Krasovsky’s YouTube channel.
"Quite a lot of big cities are yet to be liberated. Along with Kramatorsk, they are Krasnoarmeisk, Artemovsk, Druzhkovka, Slavyansk, Konstantinovka. So, our forces have a lot of work to do," Pushilin said.

Russia claims missile strikes in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions
The Russian ministry of defence said on Sunday that its forces had carried out missile strikes in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions.
Defense ministry spokesman Maj Gen Igor Konashenkov said in a statement:
During the night in the village of Zvonetske - Dnipropetrovsk region - high-precision sea-based missiles destroyed the headquarters and base of the Dnipro nationalist battalion, where reinforcements from foreign mercenaries arrived the other day.
High-precision air-launched missiles in the area of the settlement of Stara Bohdanivka, Mykolaiv region and at the Chuhuiv military airfield [in Kharkiv region] destroyed launchers of Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems identified by reconnaissance.
The Guardian could not immediately verify those claims. The Russian military has repeatedly claimed it is targeting “foreign mercenaries” and “nationalist” formations in Ukraine and denies targeting civilian infrastructure, despite evidence to the contrary.
Earlier on Sunday Valentyn Reznichenko, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration in east-central Ukraine, said there had been a series of strikes around the region over the past 24 hours.
He said:
There were sirens almost every hour and, unfortunately, there are incoming shells in different areas.
He added that a Russian strike on the regional capital of Dnipro had destroyed infrastructure, leaving one person injured, with rescuers working for hours to extinguish a fire.
Reznichenko said a rocket hit an industrial facility in the Pavlohrad district, to the east of Dnipro, destroying the premises and causing a fire while a farming building was burned down in the Dnipo district. No casualties were reported in either incident, he said.

Russian rockets destroy airport in Ukrainian city of Dnipro
Reports say the airport in the central Ukrainian city has been completely destroyed in the Russian attack.

Russian missiles destroyed an airport in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro and five emergency workers were injured in the attack.
“There has been another attack on Dnipro airport. There is nothing left of it,” Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the central Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Sunday.
“The airport itself and the infrastructure around it has been destroyed. Rockets keep flying and flying,” Reznichenko said on Telegram.
A missile also hit a building in the city’s Pavlohrad district, and emergency workers were combing through an infrastructure facility that was hit in the town of Zvonetsky.
Reznichenko said attacks on Dnipro city, which lies on the banks of the Dnieper River, intensified on Sunday.
The industrial city of one million people has been targeted by Russian forces since the invasion, but has so far been spared major destruction.
Separately, the head of the Dnipro region council, Mykola Lukashuk, says five staffers of the state emergency service had been wounded by the strike on the airport.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said that missiles fired overnight had destroyed a Ukrainian military base in Zvonetsky that had recently “received reinforcements from foreign mercenaries”.
On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted that he had discussed possible additional sanctions on Russia in a call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Zelenskyy has called for an embargo on imported gas and oil from Russia, but Germany so far resisted pressure to declare an embargo.
Scholz said on Friday that Germany could end Russian oil imports this year, but stopping gas imports would be tougher because the country would need to build infrastructure to import gas from alternative sources.
Russian oil accounts for 25 percent of German imports, down from 35 percent before the February 24 invasion. Gas imports to Germany from Russia have been cut to 40 percent from 55 percent, and hard coal imports to 25 percent from 50 percent.
