Spanish Television and Radio Corporation RTVE marked Crimea as a part of Russia

June 15, 2020

The Spanish television and radio corporation RTVE 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.

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 outlet VOX released a program dedicated to the coronavirus, in which Crimea was also marked as a part of Russia on the map. In May 2020, the French newspaper Le Monde also published a map with Crimea marked as a part of Russia on its official website, but soon corrected it.
