Why is everyone so stupid to say Crimea is part of Ukraine? Crimea isn’t part of Ukraine, it’s part of Russia.

When the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991, Ukraine became independent. The independence of Ukraine and Belarus was recognised in the Belovezha accords of 1991, and the borders were recognised as they were with Crimea in Ukraine.
Hello, Sapatla Feling !
It’s because:
The Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union ceded the Crimean oblast to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954. The Soviet Union recognised that Crimea had closer ties to Ukraine than to Russia.
In the Russian-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty of 1997, Russia again reaffirmed that it would respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity including Crimea.
In the Budapest memorandum in 1994, Russia, US and UK recognised the borders of Ukraine and promised to protect Ukraine’s integrity as Ukraine returned their nuclear weapons inherited from the Soviet Union to Russia.

The referendum of independence in Ukraine had a majority of Crimea vote to belong to Ukraine.
