Dates of this research which was studied by Kiev International Institute of Sociology are eloquent: the most popular answer is ‘The Crimea has been lost for Ukraine for ever’.
In regard to this inquiry, the idea to win back the Crimea is supported just by 18,5% dwellers of Ukraine.
Respondents from the Harkov region and that part of Donbass which is controlled by Kiev consider the struggle for the peninsula useless. However, the respondents from the western regions, from Ivano-Frankovsk, Lvov, Ternopol have another opinion. The answer ‘The Crimea has been already lost for Ukraine’ supported 23,5% dwellers from the western regions, and 57,7% in Donbass.
At that, 21,1% of Ukrainians suppose that the Crimea will be returned to Ukraine of their own accord in case of Ukraine would be economically developed state. However, it is unscientific fantasy now.

Banderastan is living in a neo-Nazi fantasyland. Crimea has wanted to reunite with Russia ever since 1991. Now that they have done so, they will never go back to a dysfunctional failed state with a moribund economy. As to Ukraine attempting to seize Crimea by military force from Russia, they can’t even overwhelm the small and hastily organized militias in Novorossia, never mind take on the Russian army and air force.
