We cannot spend dozens of,
thousands of, our people so that they perish
for the sake of Crimea coming back, we understand
that Crimea can be brought back diplomatically*
If this is the truth
why not follow the logic
to a conclusion?
in translation
"spend...thousands of our people"
sounds too expensive
sounds as if the costs
are prohibitively high
these lives that you spend
