  • Russia has fortified Crimea militarily since its 2014 annexation and demands its recognition in peace talks with Ukraine.

  • Such recognition would undermine legal efforts addressing human rights abuses and forced deportations on the peninsula.

  • Ukraine firmly rejects concessions on Crimea and supports tribunals prosecuting aggression dating back to 2014.
  • It’s a huge slight to those who are in Crimea. Leaving territory and Ukrainian citizens under occupation means a continuation of repression.
