what. stamp with lighthouse, affixed on postcard

where. Cape Fornar, Crimea

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.
