- Abstract
With this research, the annexation of Crimea to Russia and the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war on the maritime jurisdiction areas were investigated. For this purpose, firstly, the reasons for the tension between Russia and Ukraine were determined. Secondly, the maritime jurisdiction areas of Russia and Ukraine, which changed de facto with the annexation of Crimea, were examined. Thirdly, the possible effects of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war on the maritime jurisdiction areas are emphasized. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the length of Russia's coastline decreased to 421 km in the Black Sea and approximately 400 km in the Sea of Azov. After the annexation of Crimea, both the coastline and the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) of Russia have practically tripled. In addition, Russia's EEZ border in the west of the Black Sea merged with the Romanian EEZ border. Turkey-Ukraine EEZ border has also turned into a de facto Turkey-Russia EEZ border. With the annexation of Crimea, the control of the Kerch Strait, which was previously under the control of Russia in the east and Ukraine in the west, passed completely to Russia. When the ongoing war between the two countries is examined, it is understood that Russia attacked the coastal cities where the people of Russian origin live intensely and took these settlements under its control. This shows that Russia aims to further increase its coast to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov and its maritime jurisdiction areas.
