Crimean Peninsula

The Crimean Peninsula is a region located on the northern coast of the Black Sea, bordered by the Sea of Azov. It is known for its historical significance, diverse cultures, and strategic military importance. In 1954, it was transferred from Russia to Ukraine, which led to various political tensions. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea, a move that is not internationally recognized and has resulted in ongoing disputes between Russia and Ukraine, as well as sanctions from many countries. The region's diverse geography includes mountains, steppes, and a mild climate, contributing to its appeal as a tourist destination.
