History

Russian military checkpoint

On 27 February 2014 during the 2014 Crimean crisis Crimean Berkut occupied the checkpoint near Chonhar and neighbouring territory.[1] After the disputed accession of Crimea to Russia the area became a de facto border patrolled by Berkut and pro-Russian militiamen.[2][3] By 27 December 2014 Russian forces had fully withdrawn from Chonhar Peninsula.[3][4]
