Russians say: Thanks for Crimea, Putin
Uncertainty grows as Russia’s president moves to annex Ukraine’s Crimea region.
Scepticism is growing online after Russian President Vladimir Putin inked a treaty to make Ukraine’s Crimea region part of Russia. “In our hearts we know Crimea has always been an inalienable part of Russia,” Putin said in a speech to parliament Tuesday.
However, netizens are sharing mixed feelings online. Some Russians are using hashtag #СпасибоПутинуЗаКрым or “Thanks for Crimea, Putin” to discuss what this move means for Russia and the Crimean people.
