Since 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia, a part of the road located on the peninsula is de facto operated by Russia, which designated that portion of the highway as two regional routes of the Republic of Crimea: 35A-001 north of the Krasnoperekopsk, and 35K-001 south of that town. The Tavrida Highway is partially concurrent with 35A-001. [3]
