Russian Embassy Releases Map Recognizing Crimea as Ukraine's

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.

foof,

For completeness’ sake, it also shows the recently annexed oblasts (Kherson, Zaporozhija, Donetsk, Luhansk) as Ukrainian.

nxdefiant,

Probably because they used an old jpeg. This isn’t news.

TurnItOff_OnAgain,

What, that don’t own a sharpie?

echodot,

Borders don’t change just because you draw them in differently. You’re thinking about hurricanes.

LarkinDePark,

I suppose it only really matters what the Crimeans say. And they say Crimea is Russia.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

This is a fuck-up, not a statement. Though we can laugh of them, it doesn’t really do anything.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Someone might have a date with a window though, and that’s always funny.

sndmn,

It’s just adorable how they think they’re a superpower…

p1mrx,

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.

Hazdaz,

Happy little accidents like this usually don’t just happen.

That’s what you get for copying someone else’s homework without looking at it first.

echodot,

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.

xuxebiko,

Is brave sir Putin bravely running away?

Illecors,

Heads will roll…

Red_October,

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.

xuxebiko,

Nice one!

Don’t stand near an open window…

sndmn,

Their window technology is on par with the rest of their technologies.

agent_flounder,

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.

Gee2oo40,

I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue

echodot,

Don’t touch anything anywhere.

Bread,

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.

NarsilNZ,

When one door closes another window opens 🤣
