Even Navalny refuses to consider returning Crimea to Ukraine, on the justification that it's not "a ham sandwich or something that you can take and give back". The longer russian troops occupy Ukrainian territory, the more open he'll be to applying that logic to Donbas et al. The people thought of as the "good" russians to take charge are still fascists bent on taking over Ukraine, they're just willing to do it slower.
