Assuming that it was even legitimate to begin with, which is a big if, a popular vote doesn't automatically legitimize relinquishing territory to a foreign nation.

"Democracy is when the stupid foreigners vote how I think they should, otherwise it's not legitimate"
doesn't automatically legitimize relinquishing territory to a foreign nation.
If the people vote overwhelmingly to leave Ukraine, then that shows that Crimea isn't Ukraine's to relinquish or not. Liberals and abandoning democracy as soon as it becomes a rhetorical inconvenience for them, name a more iconic duo.
A complicated situation certainly, but whatever the answer is, it is not "collude with a neighbouring foreign nation, allow them to invade, and provoke a military conflict."
So you don't have an answer, but "a vote followed by annexation" is unacceptable for some reason? Why reject a peaceful solution that results in people having the government they want to live under?

Good idea right there
Good you acknowledge that even the westoid cope for the Euromaidan coup is bullshit.
If your aim is to prevent war, what is your solution for when the vast majority of people in one country want to join another, and vote accordingly?

Apparently it's "collude with local fascists and US MIC and allow them to provoke a military conflict and wage a proxy war with Russia"
Pretty extreme answer for a situation you consider to be "complicated"
