There's an interesting story on the BBC Alba news page, entitled "Two Crimean Wars" ("Dà Chogadh a' Chrimea") outlining some possible similiarities between the Crimean War 150 years ago and the current conflict in Ukraine. The article, in Gaelic, looks at the contemporary writings of a poet from the Isle of Mull, Dùghall MacPhàil, about the causes of the first Crimean War, and tries to compare with today's conflict.
