Live history: Russian invasion of Crimeea in 2014

Image
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 was a clear violation of international law and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that form the cornerstone of the modern world order.

By using military force to achieve its goals, the Russian government is sending a message that it is willing to flout international norms and use brute force to achieve its objectives. This undermines the stability of the region and sets a dangerous precedent for other countries that may be tempted to use similar tactics to achieve their own ends. It is important that the international community take a strong stand in support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity....
