Ukrainian Ambassador to Italy Yevhen Perelyhin has addressed to Limes Italian edition demanding to correct a mistake on the map published by the edition that designates Crimea as a part of Russia.

"Taking into account a tactless designation of Crimea on the map of Russian Federation in the fresh issue of Italy's Limes analytical edition ( https:// mobile. twitter. com/ limeso.../ status/682186628580950017), Ukraine's ambassador to Italy demanded the magazine's editorial staff to bring the maps in line with the norms of the international law," reads a report posted on Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's website on Facebook on Saturday.

The Ukrainian diplomat in his letter also said that such indication on the map is a technical mistake or a deliberate provocation, which "regarded as a challenge to territorial integrity of Ukraine that ignores a consolidated position of EU and UN on non-recognition of Crimea's occupation by Russia."
