Pendudukan Rusia di Krimea adalah aksi militer yang sedang terjadi di dalam Ukraina oleh Rusia, yang dimulai pada 20 Februari 2014 ketika pemerintahan militer, politik, administrasi, ekonomi dan sosial dari Rusia menguasai Republik Otonom Krimea[8][9][10] dan Sevastopol. Pendudukan di Krimea dan Sevastopol merupakan awal dari Perang Rusia-Ukraina.
Saat ini pengakuan terkait pencaplokan Krimea sebagai bagian dari Federasi Rusia adalah salah satu syarat dasar yang diajukan Rusia untuk mengakhiri invasi Rusia ke Ukraina 2022. Sebagai balasan Ukraina menyatakan siap untuk membebaskan Republik Otonom Krimea dan Sevastopol secara militer.[11][12][13]
Catatan
^There remain "some contradictions and inherent problems" regarding date on which the annexation began.[1] Ukraine claims 20 February 2014 as the date of "the beginning of the temporary occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol by Russia", citing timeframe inscribed on the Russian medal "For the Return of Crimea",[2] and in 2015 the Ukrainian parliament officially designated the date as such.[3] In early March 2015, President Putin stated in a Russian film about annexation of Crimea that he ordered the operation to "restore" Crimea to Russia following an all-night emergency meeting of 22–23 February 2014,[1][4][5][6] and in 2018 Russian Foreign Minister claimed that earlier "start date" on the medal was due to "technical misunderstanding".[7]
^"7683rd meeting of the United Nations Security Council. Thursday, 28 April 2016, 3 p.m. New York". Mr. Prystaiko (Ukraine): ... In that regard, I have to remind the Council that the official medal that was produced by the Russian Federation for the so-called return of Crimea has the dates on it, starting with 20 February, which is the day before that agreement was brought to the attention of the Security Council by the representative of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the Russian Federation started – not just planned, but started – the annexation of Crimea the day before we reached the first agreement and while President Yanukovych was still in power.
