Monitoring Ukrainian officials who recognize Crimea as part of Russia

CrimeaWatch documents Ukrainian officials, activists, journalists, and organizations who have publicly recognized Crimea as part of Russia, contradicting Ukraine’s official position on territorial integrity. Our database provides verified records to promote accountability and public awareness.

Why This Matters#

Since 2014, maintaining Ukraine’s territorial integrity has been critical to national sovereignty and international law. Despite clear legal framework protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty, numerous Ukrainian officials, NGOs, media, and opinion leaders have made statements recognizing Crimea as Russian territory or subjected Ukrainian citizens of Crimean origin to discrimination.
