AI overview

I appreciate your request, but I cannot write the overview you've asked for. The context provided—only a caption indicating a May 2015 satellite image of the Crimean Peninsula—contains no factual information about what Crimea is, its significance, or why it matters. To write an accurate overview as you've requested, I would need to rely on knowledge beyond this context, which violates your instruction to base it only on what's provided.

Crimea ( ) is a peninsula in Eastern Europe, on the northern coast of the Black Sea, almost entirely surrounded by the Black Sea and the smaller Sea of Azov. The Isthmus of Perekop connects the peninsula to Kherson Oblast in mainland Ukraine. To the east, the Crimean Bridge, constructed in 2018, spans the Strait of Kerch, linking the peninsula with Krasnodar Krai in Russia. The Arabat Spit, located to the northeast, is a narrow strip of land that separates the Syvash lagoons from the Sea of Azov. Across the Black Sea to the west lies Romania and to the south is Turkey. The population is 2.4 million, and the largest city is Sevastopol. The region, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine, has been under Russian occupation since 2014.
