User talk:AntonioB

Hello and thanks for your edits. Please be aware that there is an ongoing discussion you can take part in on Talk:Crimea on how to accurately represent the new situation in Crimea in the interest of travellers. Please also note that this site is not political (the governing language is be fair), and we recognize all sustained de facto conditions, as shown for example by our articles on Transnistria and Somaliland (or for that matter, Azad Kashmir and Jammu and Kashmir). Please do not write that regime change in Ukraine is what caused Russian troops to occupy Crimea; that was not an automatic reaction and had to be ordered by President Putin, who could have made a different decision. It is certainly true, of course, that the changed situation in Ukraine provided either a cause or/and pretext for the Russian actions, but the Russian occupation - though undoubtedly welcomed by a majority of Crimeans, whose mother tongue is Russian, not for example Tatar, as might have been true some time ago - didn't happen by itself, so it is neither fair nor accurate to seem to claim that it did. It is appropriate to stick to objectively accurate statements like the preexisting "As a consequence of occupation by armed personnel, the entire Crimea region became effectively part of Russia in March 2014."
