Crimea Annexation Lacked Diplomatic Pretext
Putin's 2014 annexation of Crimea was uniquely lawless because, unlike historical annexations such as Hitler's of Austria or Saddam's of Kuwait that came with diplomatic preparation and territorial arguments, Russia had signed numerous treaties with Ukraine from 1991 to 2014 with no diplomatic demand for Crimea before simply grabbing it, ruining the post-1945 security order.
