The Crimean peninsula was missing on Ukraine’s map in a video clip posted by The Economist.
Ukrainian diplomats have called on The Economist to use a map with Ukraine’s Crimea. “@TheEconomist, We really hope that such a reliable and a worldwide famous media will amend their map in an appropriate manner. #CrimeaIsUkraine,” Ukraine’s Embassy in the United Kingdom wrote on Twitter on November 23.
The Crimean peninsula was missing on Ukraine’s map in a video clip posted by The Economist. At the moment, the video is not available. Its links have been deleted from the publication’s social media accounts.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Embassy of Ukraine in the USA on November 7, 2019, urged editors of The New York Times to correct the mistake following the publication of Ukraine’s map without Crimea.

Shame, shame, shame…
So, where did this outlet get the map? The only country that thinks Crimea is Moskali is Muskovia.
This gross mistake doesn’t shed a good light upon The Economist. This means that they have incompetent people working for them.
Or, they have a political agenda, which I can’t believe:
“Overall, we rate The Economist Least Biased based on balanced reporting and High for factual reporting due to a clean fact check record. (mediabiasfactcheck.com)
At any rate, although the Crimea is under total Russkie control and this for who knows how long and that this is only a faulty map, the undeniable fact is that it’s legally a part of Ukraine. Ergo, someone clearly messed-up The Economist’s record in factual reporting.
Not to mention it is the policy of their country that the Crimea remains Ukraine.
