2014 declaration of Crimean independence and intent to join Russia
Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Crimea
Created
March 11, 2014 (adopted)
Author(s)
Supreme Council of Crimea and the Sevastopol City Council
Purpose
Unification of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol as a single entity, independent from Ukraine
Referendum on the status of Crimea
The Declaration of Independence of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol was a joint resolution adopted on March 11, 2014 by the Supreme Council of Crimea and the Sevastopol City Council that proclaimed the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol a sovereign state — the Republic of Crimea. The decision was taken after unmarked Russian soldiers ("little green men") invaded Ukraine and seized the Crimean parliament.[1][2][3][4]
The declaration of independence and subsequent referendum were not internationally recognised by most countries.[5]
According to the Declaration, the newly formed state has the right to apply to Russia for the inclusion of the territory in the federation as a separate subject.
In Ukraine's constitution, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol are recognised as integral parts of Ukraine, and changes to the territory of Ukraine is possible only after the relevant result of an All-Ukrainian referendum.[6][7]
