 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Republic of Crimea (country). (Discuss) Proposed since March 2014. |
The Republic of Crimea is a partially recognised republic. The Republic was formerly known as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea until it reunified with the city of Sevastopol. These two regions then declared their independence from Ukraine together as a single united nation. This nation then requested accession to Russia which was granted separately: one for the former Autonomous Republic of Crimea and another for Sevastopol. The former Autonomous Republic of Crimea is virtually the same as the federal subject, save for being part of Russia and being a federal subject, rather than being part of Ukraine as an autonomous republic.
However, the recently installed government of the Ukraine, along with most other sovereign states, do not recognize the accession of the republic to Russia. For all intents and purposes, the Ukraine still treats the region as a subdivision within Ukrainian territory subject to Ukrainian law.
Background
Following the 2014 Crimean crisis, the newly formed Supreme Council of Crimea declared Crimea's independence from Ukraine on 11 March 2014. While 97% percent of voters voted to leave Ukraine, and the new government of Crimea officially declared independence, the referendum was widely condemned in the Western world as illegitimate, primarily because the referendum included an option to join Russia while the region was under military occupation by Russia itself. The European Union, United States, Canada and several other nations condemned the decision to hold a referendum. In addition, the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People—the unofficial political association of the Crimean Tatars—called for a boycott of the referendum.
Crimea is currently only recognised by Russian Federation but is seeking UN recognition. The ultimate goal of Crimea's secession is to have Crimea eventually join Russia as a federal subject. The European Union and others have condemned the referendum. The United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a resolution declaring the referendum invalid, as Russia exercised its right to veto as a permanent member of the council, however, NATO allies have stated that they will not recognize the referendum.
On 18 March 2014, Russia and Crimea have signed treaty of accession of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol in the Russian Federation following President Putin’s address to the Parliament. During the transition period which will last until January 1, 2015, both sides will resolve the issues of integration of the new subjects “in the economic, financial, credit and legal system of the Russian Federation.”
Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Armenia recognised the legitimacy of the referendum.
