Original Note:
Crimea is part of Ukraine. Russia had signed treaties recognising this, until Russia invaded in 2014. Russia then arranged a referendum on annexing Crimea into Russia; the referendum was held at gunpoint, and is not internationally recognised. https://www.history.co.uk/articles/putin-s-gamble-russia-s-2014-invasion-of-crimea https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9476/ https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/why-was-crimea-taken-so-easily
