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. This has been disputed by Ukraine, which continues to regard the territory as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, a City with Special Status; the northern parts of the Arabat Spit, geographically part of Crimea, which Ukraine administered under the Kherson Oblast, were also annexed. 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.
