Freeland needs to do her homework  when it comes to that economic  basket  case we call the Ukraine.  Crimea voted democratically to re-join their motherland by a staggering  95%. Crimea always belonged to Russia in the past as did the Ukraine for 300 years. Crimea's language was Russian as is the eastern Ukraine. Western Ukraine  is run by a bunch of Nazis. It should be noted 2 million Jews disappeared in the Ukraine during World War 11. Who helped them?  Putin will get the Ukraine sorted out.  We should not be interfering in the affairs of either country.
