Will Ukraine take Crimea back?

Or at least attempt to take it back? The west seems to keep pressing Moscow through sanctions, etc. Think this will ever come to blows, so to speak?

...I'd doubt that Ukraine would try to take Crimea back, what with everything going on. Unless Ukraine believes it can take back the initiative, or has stronger numbers, I would expect no action to be taken.

If Ukraine only had to deal with what's in Crimea w/o consequences, they could probably take it back, but unless there is some type of deal w/ Russia about the base infrastructure and port it's unlikely they'll get it back without force.

"We will fight for every inch of the Ukrainian land until it is free," Poroshenko said during an awarding ceremony of orders to view an apartment for ATO participants and their families in the town of Vasylkiv, Kyiv region.

Old article, but valid.

Seems like Ukraine is taking a "see how better off you are now" approach. Looks like after the new year they will enforce a trade blockade. cutting off all supplies to Crimea from Ukraine and vice versa. Wonder if they will cut the power supply... again?

I thought they were already doing some sort of blockade.

Wonder how long it will be before Russia cuts off the gas to the Ukraine.
