The Russian soldiers “would have got lost” only into Ukraine - to this statement
of Moscow the Canadian NATO mission reacted with a cunning Tweet. Now the
Russians answer with a new map.
Hamburg - the border conflict between Ukraine and Russia provides for a Twitter
duel among diplomatic representatives. To a biting map Tweet now the
representative of Moscow answered the Canadian NATO delegation at NATO. The
first round had rung in a remarkable explanation of the Russians. The Ministry
of Defense in Moscow had the presence of Russian paratroopers in east Ukraine
thereby explained that the men only would have entered “by mistake” Ukrainian
territory, it on patrol at the border would have directly got lost. Thereupon
the Canadian NATO delegation referred by Tweet to the geographical conditions.
It showed a map, on which “Russia” and Ukraine are to be differentiated a kind
geography private tutoring as “non--Russia” completely simply -.
The comment: “Geography can be difficult. Here is a travel guide for Russian
soldiers, who itself again and again run and 'by mistake' in Ukraine land, is
called” it therein. The Tweet spread fast in the net. Now the Russian
representative answers at NATO with a map of the black sea, on which the
peninsula Crimea belongs to Russia. “We help our Canadian colleagues, on the
current conditions of the European geography to bring itself”, write it.
On the map of the Canadians the black sea peninsula part “Russia” - of the area
was not. The status of Crimea is disputed. In March Russia had occupied the
island and after a “referendum” had contrary to international law annexed.
Ukraine continues to regard Crimea as autonomous republic within its country.
Nevertheless: On the mainland the map, which postete Moscow representative now,
at the established Russian-Ukrainian border orients itself. By a “new Russia”,
of which now president Wladimir Putin spoke with his praise of the separatists,
there still nothing is to be seen.
