Ukraine doesn't consider Crimea inhabitants Ukrainians. They call them traitors and hate them (it's not an official position, just guessing from comments in social media - if you can read Russian, you'll find such comments easily)

They never were Ukrainians - they were an autonomous republic since '54 for a reason.

Even the 1954 transfer was only 'administrative'. By all accounts, Ukraine should not have kept Crimea in 1991.
