Le 19 février – Poutine déclare que la Crimée est devenue une “forteresse imprenable”, protégée par de grandes unités militaires et des armes sophistiquées. En décembre 2014, le ministre russe de la Défense, Sergueï Choïgou a annoncé la création d’une Force militaire auto-suffisante en Crimée – le ministère a créé sept formations et huit unités militaires de plus.
