Origins
During the Khanate years, Crimea and Ukraine were enemies. Crimea would raid Ukraine's fields and loot any part of her land and took back slaves of her people to sell on the markets of Kaffa. Howevr, years later, Crimea became apart of Ukraine during World War II, but the real interaction was when she was transfered to Ukraine in 1954 due to their close economical and cultural backgrounds and became her mother. Though Crimea is older than Ukraine, Crimea loves Ukraine being her mother, and the two were shown to have very close relations, the closest of any of Crimea's former caretakers. During the 2010 Christmas Event, Crimea and Ukraine celebrate their 690th year anniversity of the two meeting. However, unlike the others, Crimea dropped her grudge against Ukraine ever since World War II, and consider the 690th year Christmas a celebration of the two being near eachother. During the June 1, 2014 episode, it shows that Crimea still has contact with Ukraine through letters and sneaking to a secret location since she can't physically go over the border or call her or even see her thanks to Russia's restrictions on her during the annexation phase. It shows that Crimea still loves Ukraine, and she wishes to see the day that the two are able to see eachother again. However, this is debated by fans of their current relations.
