  • The international recognition that five parts of Ukraine – the criminus annexed in 2014 and the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia – are Russian. The US design had only proposed US Jure recognition for the Crimea and the recognition of US facto for Russian controlled parts of the other regions.
