In February 2014 Russia invaded

In February 2014 Russia invaded and then in March 2014 illegally annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine. Occupied Crimea is administered by Russia in two federal subjects or regions following the Ukrainian administrative divisions, the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea is not recognised by Ukraine or by the overwhelming majority of United Nations (UN) member states. In March 2014, Russian-controlled rebels also seized parts of Ukraine’s Luhansk Region and Donetsk Region, declaring what they described as “People’s Republics” in both entities. สล็อต
