“The Scientific Encyclopedia Publishing House (DPRK) has released a new political Atlas of the World. We noticed that the Crimean peninsula is already painted in Russian colors. As the DPRK Foreign Ministry explained to us, the Republic respects the results of the referendum held in Crimea on the peninsula’s entry into the Russian Federation, considers its results legitimate and fully consistent with international legal norms,” the message says.
