Option 2 clearly states:

Do you support the restoration of the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea in 1992 and for the status of the Crimea as part of Ukraine ?

Why would a yes or no be required on a referendum? Even US referendums and amendments to state constitutions succinctly state the whole option.

The least the OP could have done is use Google translate. There's a bunch of good one's out there. Memesource, memeQ, Trados....put a little effort into backing up your claims please.
