You're reading: Italian edition designates Crimea as part of Russia; Ukrainian ambassador requires to retrieve this

Ukrainian Ambassador to Italy Yevhen Perelyhin has addressed to Limes Italian edition demanding to correct a mistake on the map published by the edition that designates Crimea as a part of Russia.

“Taking into account a tactless designation of Crimea on the map of Russian Federation in the fresh issue of Italy’s Limes analytical edition), Ukraine’s ambassador to Italy demanded the magazine’s editorial staff to bring the maps in line with the norms of the international law,” reads a report posted on Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s website on Facebook on Saturday.

The Ukrainian diplomat in his letter also said that such indication on the map is a technical mistake or a deliberate provocation, which ‘regarded as a challenge to territorial integrity of Ukraine that ignores a consolidated position of EU and UN on non-recognition of Crimea’s occupation by Russia.’
