Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign affairs asked residents to report incorrect image of Crimea on maps
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is again asking citizens to inform them when the "incorrect image" of the Crimea is found on world maps. The Ministry launched the second stage of the project "Crimea on the World Map," dedicated to navigation systems and products, as noted on the official website of the Foreign Ministry.
The project was launched in late 2015. The Foreign Ministry emphasizes that during this time, there have been many instances to "correct the wrong representation of the peninsula."
"Now we want to pay special attention to the correctness of the representation of the Crimea in navigation software. Everyone can help and join: just open the navigators in your smart phones / tablets / cars and see if the Crimea is correctly marked on the map," the Foreign Ministry said.
If "the image is incorrect," the MFA asks to send photos, information about the navigation device, and other data to the department's e-mail.
"We record all instances and apply through our embassies to the central offices of manufacturing companies with a request to correct inaccuracies in navigation systems in accordance with international law and the UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 from March 27, 2014, confirming the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the internationally recognized borders," the Ministry said.
