UNIAN memo. In March 2014, Russia annexed the Ukrainian Crimea after it deployed its troops. An unlawful referendum was held on the future of the peninsula.
The self-proclaimed Crimean authorities alleged that 96.77% of voters had supported the idea of Crimea becoming part of Russia.
A so-called agreement on the accession of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol to Russia was signed in the Kremlin on March 18, 2014.
Western countries do not recognize the annexation, having introduced sanctions against Russia.
Further, Ukraine's parliament officially announced that February 20, 2014, was the beginning of the temporary occupation of Crimea.
