The key loss for Russia in the Crimea would be the naval base (Sevastopol) which Russia leased from Ukraine before the 2014 invasion. Ukraine gaining the Crimea would actually put Russia in a worse situation than it was before the 2014 invasion as I can't see Ukraine re-leasing Sevastopol to Russia.

If Ukraine did re-gain the Crimea, I wonder if UN peace-keeping troops might be deployed?
