A few facts on #Sevastopol disputed since the 2014 modern #Russia annexation to be part of the #Ukraine #Crimean #BlackSea port today by the #EU and #Letsgobrandon regimes. Lol. The fact is Sevastopol in the #Crimea was never part of the Ukraine when first built and really has always been part of #Russia since 1784, until it was co-opted by the Soviet Union post 1918 as a creation of a Soviet Union admin. territory called the Ukrainian Republic. It's a 94 year old lie, perpetrated yet again in today's #MainStreamMedia Sevastopol was Built by and was always a Part of the Russian Empire ( below text copied from the commie libtard #Wikipedia, of all places) "Sevastopol was founded in June 1783 as a base for a naval squadron under the name Akhtiar[14] (White Cliff),[15] by Rear Admiral Thomas MacKenzie (Foma Fomich Makenzi), a native Scot in Russian service; soon after Russia annexed the Crimean Khanate. Five years earlier, Alexander Suvorov ordered that earthworks be erected along the harbour and Russian troops be placed there. In February 1784, Catherine the Great ordered Grigory Potemkin to build a fortress there and call it Sevastopol. The realisation of the initial building plans fell to Captain Fyodor Ushakov who in 1788 was named commander of the port and of the Black Sea squadron.[16] The city was established on western shore of Southern Bay which branches away from bigger Sevastopol Bay. The ruins of the ancient Chersonesus were situated to the west. The newly built settlement became an important naval base and later a commercial seaport. In 1797, under an edict issued by Emperor Paul I, the military stronghold was again renamed Akhtiar. Finally, on 29 April (10 May), 1826, the Senate returned the city's name to Sevastopol.[citation needed] In 1803 to 1864 along with Mykolaiv the city was part of Nikolayev–Sevastopol Military Governorate." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sevastopol#Part_of_the_Russian_Empire
