CNN joins Ukraine to Russia

The American television channel CNN showed on the map a map on which Russia and Ukraine are designated as one state. Against this background, the news presenter John Who talks about the situation in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine on the map are marked with one light green color, the Russian flag was placed on the image above their common territory. Currently available on YouTube.

This is not the first CNN mistake in relation to stories about the situation in Ukraine. In early February, the channel gave a treadmill the news that "Obama intends to arm pro-American troops." It was about the supply of weapons to government troops of Ukraine.

10 February, the American newspaper USA Today published on the front page a map of Ukraine without the Crimea. As Foreign Policy magazine noted, this happened against the backdrop of the fact that "the West refuses to recognize the annexation of Crimea to Russia."

CNN is an American television channel created by Ted Turner in June 1980 of the year. The channel was the first in the world to embody the concept of a 24-hour news broadcast. He now broadcasts in 212 countries.
