We’ll see if they can hold it. Ukraine momentum is strong and Turkey is supporting Ukraine in taking back Crimea. Doubt Russia can survive the drones that are capable of sinking their shipsThat's absolute nonsense; the Russians are never going to leave Crimea, under any circumstances.
Crimea has been part of Russia since 1783 and was only ceded to Ukraine by the Ukrainian Premier of the Soviet Union -- Nikita Khrushchev in 1954.

They are a stuck in a power keg where they are losing supply lines every day. Insanely outnumbered.Let's see them take Kherson first before going overboard; the Russians have been revealed to be significantly weaker than anyone could have imagined, but I still don't think they'll lose Crimea.
You forgot to mention how Crimea’s indigenous inhabitants, the Tartar Muslims, were wiped out to make way for Russians in the 1950s.
They are a stuck in a power keg where they are losing supply lines every day. Insanely outnumbered.
At some point surely they’ll have to just accept Ukraine’s territorial integrity in return for all sanctions removed. Otherwise Ukraine will just keep fighting them. They now have the confidence to bomb Crimea which they hadn’t prior to the war.
But for sure I do think we have to wait.
Hopefully the sanctions stay till they do. It’s strategically important for Turkey and Ukraine.'The established protocol permits use when an enemy uses nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction on Russia or its allies'
Majority Russians live in Crimea the Russians won't ever let it go
