USA still occupies the oil fields in Syria. Not at all comparable in intent is itm Crimea is Russian. The people who live there are Russian and were glad to be part of Russia. Surely you know the history of Ukraine? Do you know why Zhelensky was elected leader of Ukraine in the first place and what happened afterward?

The Crimea is multiethnic.

It belongs to all of its pre-war citizens equally.

Its sovereignty is Ukrainian.
