How Putin Is FAILING to Defend Crimea

Putin's attempt to defend Crimea has faced several challenges and criticisms. Despite Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, it still faces ongoing resistance and criticism from the international community, economic sanctions, and internal challenges within Crimea itself. These include issues such as lack of infrastructure investment, economic stagnation, and political unrest among Crimean Tatars and pro-Ukrainian groups. Additionally, the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine has diverted resources and attention away from consolidating control over Crimea. Overall, Putin's efforts to defend Crimea have been met with significant obstacles and criticism.
