Crimea Is the Final Battle for Ukraine

Will Crimea comeback to the homeland?

It started with Crimea and it will end with Crimea.

The grinding war of attrition is into its seventh month with no peace settlement on the horizon. Before the invasion, the issue of Crimea did not top the international agenda. It was not even included in the infamous Minsk Accords and the work of the Trilateral Contact Group, forcing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to look for new formats to voice the Crimea case loud and clear. 

In turn, Putin legitimised the illegal annexation through false historical narratives, nurturing it with recognition from his authoritarian friends. International actors expressed their traditional concern and regularly condemned the illegal annexation of the peninsula, bearing in mind all explicit/implicit potential threats in the Black Sea region.
