    Crimea is historically and culturally Russian.

    Certainly Ukrainian geographically.
    Historically all over the map.

    Historically and geographically not only Crimea, but the
    whole Black Sea northern littoral/steppes had a little to
    do with the Ukraine.

    These lands were initially occupied or controlled by
    the Crimean Khanate, that was conquered and domesticated
    by the Russian empire in the 18th century.
