Original Note:
For a referendum on Crimea to be legitimate, it should have respected Ukraine's constitution & international law. The 2014 vote was conducted under armed guard, with no credible international observers, & no option to remain Ukrainian. UN members declared it illegal https://press.un.org/en/2014/ga11493.doc.htm https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/the-referendum-in-crimea-solved-the-crimean-issue-once-and-for-all https://www.huffpost.com/entry/crimeas-technically-flawe_b_4992908 https://www.brookings.edu/articles/five-years-after-crimeas-illegal-annexation-the-issue-is-no-closer-to-resolution/
