Summary:
Reports and statements published by media and other stakeholders on the occasion of the fifth anniversary since Russia proceeded with the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
Further information:
Media sources reported on the challenges facing Russia's presidency over the aftermath of the decision to annex the Ukrainian region, but also on infrastructure improvements since then.
