40. Maybe, or at least feeding info to the military leaders in Kiev

I don't know that they have the military strength to fight against the Russian invaders, or they would have been wiped out early. I believe Crimea was mainly a vacation & tourist area for Ukraine, not a strategic industrial target. The main livelihoods are fishing and farming in Crimea.

It's the Russians who stole Crimea for its strategic access to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
