Oh well, too bad so sad.
"AI Overview
Ukraine lost Crimea to Russia in 2014 following a series of events that began with the Euromaidan revolution in Kyiv. The ousting of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych sparked pro-Russian demonstrations in Crimea, prompting Russia to begin planning the peninsula's annexation. Russian special forces, initially without insignia, seized key locations, and a referendum on joining Russia was held under occupation, with a result favoring annexation. Russia formally annexed Crimea on March 18, 2014."
