The British daily middle-market tabloid newspaper, The Daily Mail, has mentioned Ukraine's Crimea annexed by Russia in March 2014 as Russian territory in an article about a World War Two bomb explosion in the Russian-occupied city of Sevastopol.
"The dramatic incident took place in the port city of Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula, in south-western Russia," it wrote on June 12.

UNIAN memo. Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea in March 2014 after its troops had occupied the peninsula. An illegal referendum was held for Crimeans to decide on accession to Russia. De-facto Crimean authorities reported that allegedly 96.77% of the Crimean population had voted for joining Russia.
On March 18, 2014, the so-called agreement on the accession of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol to Russia was signed in the Kremlin. The West did not recognize the annexation in response to which sanctions against Russia were introduced. Ukraine's parliament voted to designate February 20, 2014, as the official date when the temporary occupation of Crimea began.
