| Summary / Abstract (Note) | MARCH 18, 2014 saw the signing of an international agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Crimea on admission of the Republic of Crimea to the RF and on creation of new subjects within the Russian Federation. Under the agreement, applicable from the date of signature and in force since its ratification on March 21, 2014, Crimea is considered admitted to the Russian Federation, within which new subjects, the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol, are created. Persons residing as of that date on the territory of the new subjects of the Federation are recognized as Russian citizens but are entitled within a month to declare their wish to retain the citizenship they have. The legislative acts of the Russian Federation are already in operation in Crimea. Crimea's land border with Ukraine is declared a border of the Russian Federation; and the maritime areas in the Black and Azov seas are subject to delimitation based on the principles of international law. |
