According to the Minister, Apple should adhere to high technology and entertainment, as global politics is not their strong point.

“Let me explain your terminology, Apple. Imagine how you scream that your plans and ideas, years of work and part of your heart have been stolen by your worst enemy, but at the same time, to some ignorant person, do not care about your pain. That’s the feeling when you call Crimea Russian land, ”Pristayko wrote on Twitter.

On November 27, the State Duma reported that Apple completely eliminated the claims of deputies on the indication of the territorial affiliation of Crimea in its services, including in the Weather application.

In the spring, the State Duma said that Apple corrected the error with the display of Crimea on the maps, associated with an incorrect indication of territorial affiliation.

Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula called for reunification with Russia.
