Sorry, my English is very poor, but I try to be as nice as it possible. My double-cousine live in Mariupol, still controlled by Ukraine, but she, as absolute majority of her friends, see Ukraine ("Borderland" in translation) as part of Russia, or, at least, as the part of some Russian-lead Union. She (as many of her friends) hates modern Ukrainian Government with their idea, that "Ukraine is not Russia".
Crimea is not Ukraine, it is part of Russia, we hope, that later Mariupol, Odessa, Kiev, Lvov will be parts of Russia, too. May be, @Conhoon have his own opinion about Lvov.
@ Black Pawn, you called me to answer so I'll answer. Lviv is now a Ukrainian city. And let it remain a Ukrainian city. It was once a place where Poles, Ukrainians, Armenians and many others lived together. The Second World War changed the borders of my country, we lost this area. But we do not have the desire to get them back. I can see, however, that the most important thing for you is the old rule that "the Russian army never gives back the once captured area". For many Russians, the transformation of the USSR was a blow, but it gave many nations the chance to gain independence after many years. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and many more - do not you really see that reinforcements in these countries began after the annexation of Crimea?
