Russia responds by violating national sovereignty at a time of political crisis and instead of letting Ukrainians decide their own fates/separation through referendums sends in troops to force the issue. How is this anything but a land grab?
For the record, I do not support the invasion at all.

That said, most likely the majority of crimeans would rather live in Russia than Ukraine. Simple because most of them are Russians and would rather live in richer, far more stable country.
