The Ukrainian Embassy in the UK has expressed its demand to the British newspaper, The Times, to fix the map of Russia published as a guide of Russian stadiums hosting the FIFA World Cup 2018.

'The Embassy draws the attention of #TheTimes to the fact that it is unacceptable to mark on its maps Crimea, which was illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014, as part of Russia," the diplomats wrote on Facebook.

"We demand to change the map," the Embassy wrote.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the Ministry of Culture of France had corrected a map on its official website were Ukraine's Sevastopol in the occupied Crimea was indicated as a Russian city.
