The map depicted Ukraine with its internationally recognised borders.www.BusinessInsider.co.zaRussia's embassy in Sweden on Tuesday shared a map of Europe that showed Ukraine with its internationally recognised borders, which goes against Russian President Vladimir Putin's unrecognised land claims in the country.
In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea — a peninsula on the Black Sea. The annexation of Crimea prompted outcry across the globe and drove a wedge between Moscow and the West. Last February, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, and in September, even as the war raged on, Putin illegally annexed four Ukrainian territories — Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia — following referendums that were decried as a sham by leaders around the world. At the time, Putin announced that there were"four new regions of Russia." Though Putin claims these regions as part of Russia, the territories are not fully controlled or occupied by Russian forces.
