More than half of its 2 million people are Russian, and Russia still maintains a naval base there. In fact, the region was part of Russia until 1954, when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave it to Ukraine as a present. When the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Crimea became part of an independent Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians work in Russia, and according to the EU-funded Migration Policy Centre, the Russia-Ukraine border is the second-largest migration corridor in the world.
The ousted leader refuses to comment on whether Crimea belongs to Ukraine or Russia and accepts some responsibility for the killings in Maidan. Ukraineâs former president Viktor Yanukovych has praised Russian president Vladimir Putin and thanked him for saving his life. The ousted former leader of Ukraine told BBC's Newsnight he was grateful that Mr Putin ordered security officials to help Mr Yanukovych get out of Ukraine. Mr Yanukovych fled to Russia on February 23, 2014, with the help of Moscow troops.
