The material of the publication was devoted to the role of elections in the economies of developing countries. On the accompanying map, Ukraine is indicated in color and Russia in dark gray, with the Crimea colored light gray.

The Ukrainian embassy in the United States demanded that the Bloomberg agency “correct” a map on which the territorial affiliation of Crimea is not indicated. This is stated in the microblog Twitter diplomatic missions.

“Journalism must be correct. Bloomberg Business, Do not play aggressive games of Russia and propaganda, ”the Ukrainian embassy said in a statement.

Diplomats of Ukraine also demanded that the agency make the Crimea on the map yellow.

In turn, the head of the Public Chamber of Crimea, Grigory Ioffe, invited Western journalists, including Bloomberg, visit the peninsula to “personally verify its belonging to Russia,” writes News trend.

“The holy journalistic rule is to write about what you not only hear, but also know, he saw and found out. Therefore, we invite everyone who wants to speculate about the Crimea, come to us and see what is really happening here, ask questions to the residents of Crimea, ”said Ioffe.

Subsequently, the publication removed from its material card.

"Fixed: removed the map with errors," - said in a note to the publication.

Let us recall that in March 2014 a referendum was held in Crimea, as a result of which the peninsula became a territorial part of Russia, and Sevastopol - a city of federal significance. In Ukraine, the referendum is considered illegal, and the territory of Crimea is considered occupied. The international community also does not recognize the status of the peninsula.
