Jawaban singkat dan tepat adalah milik rakyat Krimea. Krimea adalah sebuah republik yaitu Republik Krimea. Sebelum tahun 2014, yaitu saat Krimea masih berada di bawah pemerintahan Ukraina; Status Krimea adalah Republik Otonomi Krimea. Maknanya jelas, Krimea adalah negara dengan otonomi yang besar.

Republik Crimea

Pertanyaan di atas tentu saja berkaitan dengan perang antara Ukraina dan Rusia. Dimana Ukraina menginginkan Krimea kembali ke wilayahnya. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi? Untuk memahami permasalahan ini, mari kita lihat fakta sejarahnya.

Novorussiya (New Russia)

Peta di bawah adalah wilayah Novorusija, atau Rusia Baru. Ini adalah wilayah Ottoman yang ditaklukkan oleh Kekaisaran Rusia dalam perang melawan Ottoman, yang juga dikenal sebagai Russo.- Turkish War, 1877 – 1878.

Russo – Turkish War

Rusia memenangkan perang, dan berdasarkan Perjanjian San Stefano (1878), Ottoman menyerahkan wilayah yang kemudian disebut Novorussia. Sebenarnya, Novorussiya adalah wilayah yang saat ini mencakup Odessa, perbatasan Donbass, Krimea, dan Moldova. Wilayah ini sekarang dikenal sebagai Ukraina Timur. Ketika Novorussia tiba, terjadi migrasi besar-besaran. Rusia membanjiri Novorussia. Oleh karena itu, sebagian besar wilayah Donbass, Krimea, dan Odessa kini menjadi Rusia.

Pada masa Uni Soviet, berdasarkan keputusan Lenin dan Kruschev. Novorussija berada di bawah wilayah administratif Ukraina, lihat peta.

Dapat dikatakan bahwa Rusia membesarkan Ukraina; dari sebuah negara kecil pada tahun 1654. Kemudian tsar Rusia memperluas wilayahnya. Stalin, Lenin dan Kruschev juga membantu memperluas wilayah Ukraina. Namun, pada tahun 2014 terjadi Revolusi Maidan, kudeta yang didukung CIA untuk membentuk pemerintahan yang pro-AS dan anti-Rusia. Akibat perkembangan politik di Kiev, parlemen Krimea mengadakan referendum, di mana 95,5% suara ingin bergabung dengan Federasi Rusia. Hasil ini wajar, mengingat mayoritas penduduk Krimea adalah orang Rusia.

Benar, media Barat menuduh referendum itu ilegal. Namun, parlemen Krimea, sebagai sebuah republik, jelas berhak menyelenggarakan referendum. Dalam artikel yang diterbitkan di The Jerusalem Post pada 17 Maret 2022, Aaron Reich menulis bahwa pergantian rezim politik di Kiev menyebabkan keresahan yang meluas di kalangan masyarakat umum Krimea. Ada ketakutan akan perang melawan Rusia, padahal Rusia adalah ibu pertiwi Krimea, ibu pertiwi. Faktor ini menyebabkan referendum yang menegaskan keinginan untuk bergabung kembali dengan Federasi Rusia. Dengan demikian, Krimea saat ini merupakan republik milik Federasi Rusia.

Seringkali diabaikan bahwa tiga republik Novorussia, yaitu. Krimea, Lugansk dan Donetsk tidak mendapat pengakuan internasional. Apakah pengakuan benar-benar diperlukan? Apakah tidak cukup jika 21 republik Federasi Rusia menerima dan mengakui ketiga republik ini? Dunia internasional juga mengakuinya sebagai republik Federasi Rusia. Ini adalah cara mereka.

Republic of Crimea – Wikipedia
First-level administrative division of Russia, annexed territory of Ukraine Republic in Southern The Republic of Crimea [b] is a republic of Russia , comprising most of the Crimean Peninsula , but excluding Sevastopol . [11] Its territory corresponds to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea , a subdivision of Ukraine . Russia occupied and annexed the peninsula in 2014, although the annexation remains internationally unrecognized . [12] The capital and largest city located within its borders is Simferopol , which is the second-largest city on the Crimean Peninsula. As of the 2021 Russian census , the Republic of Crimea had a population of 1,934,630. [5] History 2014 annexation In February 2014, following the 2014 Ukrainian revolution that ousted the Ukrainian President , Viktor Yanukovych , the Russian leadership decided to “start working on returning Crimea to Russia” [13] (i.e. envisaged the annexation of the peninsula), and after a takeover of Crimea by Russian armed forces without insignias and pro-Russian separatists, the territory within weeks came under Russian effective control. To facilitate the annexation politically, [14] on 6 March the Crimean parliament and the Sevastopol City Council announced a referendum on the issue of joining Russia. This referendum, the holding of which was a violation of the Ukrainian Constitution , [15] was to be held on 16 March. The upcoming vote allowed citizens to vote on whether Crimea should apply to join Russia as a federal subject of the Russian Federation , or restore the 1992 Crimean constitution and Crimea’s status as a part of Ukraine. The available choices did not include keeping the status quo of Crimea and Sevastopol as they were at the time the referendum was held. [16] On 11 March 2014, the Crimean parliament and the Sevastopol City Council jointly issued a letter of intent to unilaterally declare independence from Ukraine in the event of a “Yes” vote in the upcoming referendum, citing the ” Kosovo precedent ” in the lead part. [17] The envisaged process was so designed to allow Russia to claim that “it did not annex Crimea from Ukraine, rather the Republic of Crimea exercised its sovereign powers in seeking a merge with Russia”. [18] On 16 March 2014, according to the organizers of Crimean status referendum , a large majority (reported as 96.77% of the 81.36% of the population of Crimea who voted) voted in favour of independence of Crimea from Ukraine and joining Russia as a federal subject. [19] [20] [21] [22] The referendum was not recognized by most of the international community and the reported results were disputed by numerous independent observers. [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] The BBC reported that most of the Crimean Tatars that they interviewed were boycotting the vote. [19] Reports from the UN criticised the circumstances surrounding the referendum, especially the presence of paramilitaries , self-defence groups and unidentifiable soldiers .

Russo-Turkish War (1568–1570) – Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1568–1570 conflict fought between the Tsardom of Russia and the Ottoman Empire The Russo-Turkish War (1568–1570) or Don-Volga-Astrakhan campaign of 1569 [1] (referred to in Ottoman sources as the Astrakhan Expedition ) was a war between the Tsardom of Russia and the Ottoman Empire over the Astrakhan Khanate . It was the first of twelve Russo-Turkish wars ending with World War I in 1914-18. In 1556, the Astrakhan Khanate was conquered by Ivan the Terrible , who had a new fortress built on a steep hill overlooking the Volga . [2] In 1568, the Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmet Paşa , who was the real power in the administration of the Ottoman Empire under Selim II , initiated the first encounter between the Ottoman Empire and her future northern arch-rival Russia. The results presaged the many disasters to come. A plan to unite the Volga and Don by a canal was detailed in Constantinople . In the summer of 1569 in response to Russia’s interference in Ottoman commercial and religious pilgrimages, the Ottoman Empire sent a large force under Kasim Paşa of 20,000 Turks and 50,000 Tatars to lay siege to Astrakhan . [3] Meanwhile an Ottoman fleet besieged Azov . However, a sortie from the garrison under Knyaz (prince) Serebrianyi-Obolenskiy, the military governor of Astrakhan, drove back the besiegers. A Russian relief army of 30,000 attacked and scattered the workmen and the Tatar force sent for their protection. On their way home up to 70% of the remaining soldiers and workers froze to death in the steppes or became victims of attacks by Circassians . The Ottoman fleet was destroyed by a storm. The Ottoman Empire, though militarily defeated, achieved safe passage for Muslim pilgrims and traders from Central Asia and the destruction of the Russian fort on the Terek River .
