There are still plenty of Russians left in Crimea but they moved to Crimea because of sweetheart deals and more importantly because Putin's promise to protect them.

Russian ships in the ports have moved out, Ukraine controls the air space over Crimea. Russia is moving air defense systems out of eastern and southern Ukraine to reposition them to protect Moscow.

Putin is no longer able to protect Russians in Crimea.
