- The Crimean people were entitled to self-determination by means of remedial secession i.e. people may claim to secession from an existing state provided that their existence is at stake due to serious massive repressions of that state.
- At the core of the narrative of the self-determination of the Crimean people is the coup d’état carried out in Ukraine in February of 2014 , which was followed by the collapse of the Ukrainian state; consequently, the Crimean people, fearing possible persecution, acquired the right to secede from Ukraine and join Russia.
