  6. The Different Opinions • The ukrainians are angry, because the annexing will give Russia control over the military bases. • There are tens of thousands of people in Crimea, including the taters (ethnic ukrainians living in Crimea, who were fond of Ukraine), who are afraid of becoming part of Russia. • President Obama believes that Russia has “no right” to annex Crimea, and that it is illegal.
