The link for "Reacting to sanctions, Russians ban Reid, Boehner and four other lawmakers" (source 436, for John McCain being sanctioned) is dead.

Hi! I'm just a bit confused about the title. Is there a reason for why the full name of Russia (Russian Federation) is used? As far as I know, most articles use short names for countries such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, United States and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Azeezm4r (talk) 12:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No reason. Alaexis_¿question? 20:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably to distinguish from Annexation of the Crimean Khanate by the Russian Empire (previously -- Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Empire) but we are much better off using years instead if we want to be precise, hardly anyone refers to this as "annexation by the Russian Federation", rather "Russian annexation".

I'm kindof surprised there's no analysis or discussion of the causes of this conflict, specifically the https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-coalition-agreement/26703123.html Ukraine Parliment's goal of joining NATO, especially since that was Russia's explicit reason for invasion. Should there be a section on Russia's motivations and goals? Simul (talk) 19:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The causes of the conflict should be in the article about the conflict. Here they should be mentioned only to the extent they involve Crimea. Alaexis_¿question? 20:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
