In May-June 2014 the “Maidan of Foreign Affairs” Foundation was the first in Ukraine to formulate the basic principles of the Crimea Regain Strategy. Those principles have been publicized many times and commented on in Ukrainian and foreign media and social networks. In November-December 2014 they were published and presented in the book A Strategy for Regaining Crimea.
Some conclusions concerning the initial period of the Crimea occupation, from February to December 2014, were published in a report presented in Washington on March 6, 2015.
The first version of “The Strategy for Regaining the Crimea” was formulated on the assumption that it would be used by top-level agencies in the national government of Ukraine; however, these expectations were not fulfilled, or else they were only partially realized and to a very small degree.
