i guess i’d probably define it by either governmental ties, although i believe crimea was closer to a territory of ukraine, than an actual part of ukraine, and whether or not the government itself has some sort of significant influence in that region.
Geo politics is fun.
I guess the other alternative is digging through the history of ukraine and crimea to see if they ever established any sort of relationship that you could use as a basis for a modern claim of “ownership”
naturally post USSR implosion it gained independence. I feel like i’d probably leave crimea up for debate at the moment tho. I could see it going either way depending on how you classify it’s relationship to ukraine.
