They received international recognition from each other, Russia, Syria and North Korea, and some other partially recognised states. On 30 September 2022, after a referendum, Russia declared it had formally annexed both entities.
2. On 21 October, a White House press release stated that Iranian troops were in Crimea assisting Russia in launching drone attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure. On November 24 Ukrainian officials said the military had killed ten Iranians and would target any further Iranian military presence in Ukraine. see aslo:Iran and the Russian invasion of Ukraine
