Russian Embassy Releases Map Recognizing Crimea as Ukraine's
newsweek.com
The Russian Embassy in South Africa has shared a map online that shows illegally annexed Crimea as part of Ukraine.
A post on the embassy's account on X, formerly known as Twitter, attempted to raise the profile of the BRICS grouping of world economies but appeared instead to endorse Crimea as being part of Ukraine.
The X post showed a world map with Ukraine's borders containing not only eastern parts of its territory that Russia claims to have annexed but also Crimea—which was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014—in addition to BRICS members.
ya think someone's gonna lose their
joblife about this?Don’t stand near an open window…
Pass on the afternoon tea...
Don't take an airplane....
Surely, you can’t be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue
Don't touch anything anywhere.
Their window technology is on par with the rest of their technologies.
Lose their life? Comrade, of course not. You have been listening to too much Ukrainian propaganda. Now please come sit with me and enjoy a drink. This new stuff is to die for.
When one door closes another window opens 🤣
That's what you get for copying someone else's homework without looking at it first.
You see what happened here is they are assumed that everybody else agrees with their interpretation of reality (that Crimea belongs to Russia). Obviously that's insane, considering they're the ones with the dictatorship, but you know logic isn't really their strong point.
So no one actually bothered to look at the image, which was literally the bare minimum amount of work they could have done.
For completeness' sake, it also shows the recently annexed oblasts (Kherson, Zaporozhija, Donetsk, Luhansk) as Ukrainian.
Probably because they used an old jpeg. This isn't news.
What, that don't own a sharpie?
Borders don't change just because you draw them in differently. You're thinking about hurricanes.
Heads will roll...
It's gonna be so weird how many of them manage to fall out of windows, or die in freak plane crashes. Gonna be like some final destination shit.
In these moments it’s windows that suffer the most. Think of their panes.
Nice one!
That song is like, a guilty pleasure of mine
This is a fuck-up, not a statement. Though we can laugh of them, it doesn't really do anything.
Someone might have a date with a window though, and that's always funny.
Well that settles it, Russia. The rules say you have to go home and start a new invasion. Be sure to pick up any mines you may have left.
Happy little accidents like this usually don't just happen.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Russian Embassy in South Africa has shared a map online that shows illegally annexed Crimea as part of Ukraine.
A post on the embassy's account on X, formerly known as Twitter, attempted to raise the profile of the BRICS grouping of world economies but appeared instead to endorse Crimea as being part of Ukraine.
While BRICS refers specifically to the economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, the map posted on the embassy's account also included Ethiopia, Argentina, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Iran shaded in green, along with the five BRICS members.
Since being published early on Monday, August 28, the post has attracted more than 292,000 views as well as a number mocking comments.
Mira of Kyiv, who shared a photo of Crimea being part of Ukraine, posted: "So you agree."
The regions of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhizhia were annexed into the Russian Federation last year following referendums that were condemned by the United Nations, and have only been recognized by North Korea.
