  While I have already stated a number of negative effects (which have
so far been ignored), what positive effects does excluding Crimea from
Ukraine gives? The only way you can get to occupied territory of
Crimea from government controlled part of Ukraine is through a narrow
straight which is heavily guarded. I cannot imagine the situation
where anybody would "wonder" into occupied territory without knowing
it.

  I cannot understand WHY was this reconsideration made in the first
place. It was much more peaceful before this decision.

P.S. And I really do not think sarcasm in "evil Russian aggression" is funny.
