It is noted that the opening ceremony of the Crimean Room was attended by Permanent Representative Tamila Tasheva, who delivered a welcoming speech and presented the Ambassador with a model of the Magura V5 maritime drone from the Mission and the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, which destroyed the largest number of Russian ships in the Black Sea during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The room also features authentic medals from the Crimean War, loaned to the British Embassy by the Light Dragoons Regimental Museum. Among them is a medal that was posthumously awarded to a participant in the Light Brigade's attack during the Battle of Balaklava.
