History

Russian annexation of Crimea

See main article: Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.

In 2014, Russia unilaterally and illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine. This has not been recognized by the international community, but Russia has continued to occupy the peninsula.

2020 Ukrainian administrative reform

See also: Administrative divisions of Crimea. In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was still occupied by Russia. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether. The territory of Kurman Raion was expanded to also include the territories of Pervomaiske Raion, but has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[1]
