“The Embassy of Ukraine in the USA urgently appealed to the leadership of the American company Apple with an appeal to correct the incorrect designation of Crimea as part of Russia in the company's applications,” the message said.
It is noted that diplomats also drew the attention of the State Department and "other competent departments" to the situation.
Earlier, the head of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption Vasily Piskaryov said that Apple fixed the error and now Crimea in the Weather application is displayed as part of Russia.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry criticized the company, noting that global politics is not its strong point. Ex-head of the ministry Pavel Klimkin called on Ukrainians to abandon the use of Apple products.
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.
