A museum in Switzerland depicted the Ukrainian Crimea as part of Russia

<span><span><span><span><span><span>The Museum of Art and History in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, has used interactive maps on which the temporarily occupied Crimea is marked as part of Russia. The maps are part of the exhibition “À la poursuite du temps” (“In Pursuit of Time”), dedicated to the local astronomical observatory and the development of science.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>Orientalist Mykhailo Yakubovych wrote about this on social media. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>The expert sent a letter to the museum’s administration. He urged the museum’s management to immediately correct the error in the exhibition, which will run until 2027. However, he has not yet received a response. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>This is the kind of “neutrality” we’re getting—with a pro-Russian slant. “I hope the Ukrainian Embassy in Switzerland will take note of this, because this outrage is set to remain on display there until 2027, according to the exhibition schedule,” noted Mykhailo Yakubovych.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Earlier, during a live broadcast of the solar eclipse, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) separated Crimea from Ukraine on a map with a border line. Thus, the peninsula was shown as part of Russia.

People watching the total solar eclipse saw the border line between Ukraine and Crimea. This sparked outrage. People began asking NASA whether the organization had issues with international law. In the comments, the agency was also urged to update the map to show Ukraine’s internationally recognized territory.
