French newspaper Le Monde corrected the situation with the “Russian Crimea”

May 27, 2020

The French newspaper Le Monde on its official website has published a map by which you can track the spread of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Crimea on the map was marked as a part of Russia, but the newspaper corrected this error without any comments.

We remind that this is not the first such case. In November 2019, The New York Times also published a map of Ukraine without Crimea, but later the edition corrected the image. In March 2020, the American media VOX released a program dedicated to the coronavirus, in which Crimea was also marked as a part of Russia on the map.
