In March 2014, after deploying its troops, Russia occupied the Ukrainian Crimea and started destabilizing Donbas.
On March 18, 2014, a so-called "agreement" was signed in the Kremlin on Crimea and Sevastopol's accession to the Russian Federation.
Western powers never recognized the annexation of Crimea. They moved to impose sanctions against Russia.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has officially announced February 20, 2014, the date marking the beginning of the temporary occupation of Crimea.
