    Moscow's troops seized control of Crimean peninsula in 2014 through a covert invasion, and then used it to help launch its full-scale assault on Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
    Russia marks the annexation on March 18, the day President Vladimir Putin formalised it with a treaty in Moscow.
    Kyiv has said it will fight on until it restores its 1991 borders, which include Crimea, and is leading a diplomatic push to devise a peace plan that envisions a full Russian troop withdrawal.
