AFP – The situation on Crimea

The image is a political map that depicts the country of Ukraine and neighboring countries. Emphasized in this map is the Crimea area, with a diagonal pattern. The other highlighted part of the map is on the right side of the Ukraine, marked with Donetsk and Lugansk as well as a red diagonal pattern.

According to the legend, the black diagonal pattern refers to areas annexed by Russia. The red diagonal pattern refers to areas under separatist control.

Key cities labeled on the map include Kiev, Lugansk, Donetsk, Odessa, Simferopol, and Novorossiysk. Other countries such as Moldova and Russia are indicated. Notable bodies of water, specifically the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, are suitably labeled.

An inset globe is added to the top left corner of the map, showing the location of these events. The map also features a scale, represented with a “100 km” caption.
