remarks. In 2014, Crimea was annexed from Ukraine, by Russia. The following federal subjects of the Russian Federation were established there: the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol.

While Russia has de facto control over the area - and its lighthouses - this has not been recognised by Ukraine and most of the member-states of the United Nations.
