Legal analysis demonstrates unlawful territorial acquisition in post-2014 Crimea, indicating a complete absence of legal mechanisms transferring sovereignty to an aggressor state.

Key Points

To determine the current international legal regime governing Crimea and substantiate Ukraine's legal position in interstate disputes with the Russian Federation.
Conducted a legal documentary analysis reviewing evidence and international regulations surrounding the Russian annexation of Crimea.
Evaluated international legal definitions and frameworks regarding foreign military presence, occupation, conquest, and annexation.
Identified annexation as an act of aggression characterized by unilateral declarations of sovereignty and attempted legitimation through de facto military control.
Concluded that current international law provides no legal mechanism for the legitimate transfer of territorial sovereignty to an aggressor state through annexation.
