Coca-Cola Recognizes Crimea as Part of Russia, Makes Kiev Leadership Angry

The company quickly noticed its mistake and fixed the map, marking all three regions as part of the Russian Federation.

"Dear community members! We sincerely apologize for the situation. The map has been fixed. We hope for your understanding," the Coca-Cola Company said in an official statement.

​The incident was also noticed by Ukrainian politicians, some of whom said Ukraine should boycott Cola-Cola products for including Crimea as the part of Russia.

Ukrainian MPs Mustafa Nayyem and Oleh Tyahnybok said Ukraine should ban the activity of Cola-Cola in the country.

"Authorities! Immediately ban the activities of this American company in Ukraine, which de-facto recognized Crimea belonging to Moscow," Tyahnybok wrote on his Facebook account.
