Crimea is ours. Why all other end variants promise Ukraine eternal instability

"Crimea is crucial in this war, and not only because its de-occupation may probably lead to the internal collapse of the Putin regime. The side that controls the Crimea receives control over the entire North Black Sea region. " Opinion. It is clear that Ukraine can liberate Crimea - a territory that is crucial in this war.

The essence of the question is that Ukraine will never be stable and safe with Russia's occupied Crimea, and Russia's occupied Crimea will never be resourceless without Ukraine. Therefore, any "peaceful settlement" proposed, which secures the de facto occupation of Crimea in exchange for the termination of hostilities is a bomb of a slow action that will necessarily explode then.
