"Today is the 9th anniversary of the Crimean status referendum.
On March 16, 2014, Crimeans made their historic choice on the basis of universal suffrage.
✅ The absolute majority of the peninsula’s residents, or 96.77 % with a turnout of 83 %, voted FOR the reunification with the Russian Federation.
🇷🇺 Based on that free expression of will by the regions' population, Crimea and Sevastopol were acceded to the Russian Federation as its integral parts.
🗳 The referendum was held according to international law and became the ultimate triumph of democracy.
As many as 135 international observers from 23 countries as well as 1,240 representatives of local organisations were present during the vote and praised the preparations for and the implementation of the Crimean referendum."
