Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Disputed territory on Black Sea peninsula in Ukraine.

The peninsula features three distinct geographical zones: northern steppes, central mountain ranges, and a subtropical southern coastline with beach towns.

In 1991, the region gained autonomous status within Ukraine until 2014, when Russian forces entered the territory and organized a referendum.

The region exhibits a complex ethnic composition with Russian, Ukrainian, and Crimean Tatar populations, each maintaining their languages and traditions.

The transportation network includes the Isthmus of Perekop connecting to mainland Ukraine and the Crimean Bridge linking to Russia across the Kerch Strait.

The territory contains multiple mineral water springs and therapeutic mud locations, which developed as health treatment centers since the 1800s.
