Crimea – 2 bhliadhna bhon a ghabh An Ruis smachd

Sa Mhàrt 2014 bhòt Crimea airson a bhith na pàirt dhen Ruis. Tha i air a bhith air a riaghladh le Moscow bhon uair sin. Deamocratachd, sin a tha An Ruis ag ràdh a bh’ ann. A’ toirt cothrom do mhuinntir Chrimea taghadh cò am maighistir a tha iad ag iarraidh. Do Ugràin is tòrr dhùthchannan eile ge-tà, bha na thachair mì-laghail. Bha riaghaltas ùr air tighinn gu stiùir ann an Kiev, riaghaltas a bha taobhadh ri Siar seach Moscow. ‘S ann an uair sin a chuir An Ruis saighdearan a-staigh, mus deach a’ bhòt a chumail. An-diugh, dà bhliadhna air adhart, ciamar a tha an sgìre air atharrachadh, cò tha toilichte is cò nach eil? Tha Darren Linc air siubhal a Chrimea à Ugràin le cead bho Khiev is Moscow – ‘s e ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ a’ chiad sgioba naidheachd eadar-nàiseanta a th’ air sin a dhèanamh bho ghluais Crimea gu sealbh na Ruis.

Crimea – 2 years since Russia took control

In March 2014 Crimea voted to be part of Russia. The territory has been a de facto part of Russia since then. Russia sees it as democracy in action, giving the Crimean people the right to determine who their master should be. However, Ukraine sees what happened as illegal, as do many other countries. At the time, a new government had swept to power in Kiev, one leaning to the West rather than to Moscow. It was then that Russia sent in troops to Crimea before holding the vote. Today, two years on, how has Crimea changed? Who is happy and who is not? Darren Laing has travelled to Crimea via Ukraine with permission from both parties who claim sovereignty – ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ are the first international crew to do this since Russia took control of Crimea.
