Nine years ago, Russia occupied Crimea. Since then, the peninsula has come a long way from sovereign Ukrainian territory to a Russian military base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its invasion strategy, Russia tries to wipe out not only Ukrainian identity but also the Crimean one. For nine years, Russian occupiers have violated the rules of Crimean Tatars, initiating repression against public activists, journalists, and human rights defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nine years of occupation, the western world reconsiders its attitude toward the reintegration of Crimea into free Ukraine. Now, the peninsula plays one of the key roles in Ukraine\u2019s victory plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
