Yeah. The Russians propaganda machine lied about that.

Russians aren't necessarily supportive of Russia. They had a home and they had security in Ukraine.

Current global consensus is, much like those in Crimea, they have a home in Ukraine.

No. That's the bit I mentioned: "being invaded and annexed by a foreign power."

and the part where they voted

Ahh. "Voted". Where neither of the options was to remain in the Ukraine.
