WASHINGTON — Many Crimeans voted to join the Russian Federation² in the hope of improving their well-being³.

The Crimean peninsula may be best known for its Black Sea coast with beautiful beaches and naval⁵ ports, but the region's main industry is food production, including a centuries-old tradition of wine making.
