According to her, after criticism from the Ukrainian side, the German had to make excuses for a long time.
“We staged a real beating and demarche for one German expert, who, to illustrate his theses, used a map of Europe, where Crimea belonged to the Russian Federation, and Ossetia and Abkhazia were “republics.” He blushed for a long time and made excuses that it was a Gazprom map, and he used it for illustration. The leadership of the Center in Garmisch apologized, and we spoke harshly about the inadmissibility of the public use of such maps, which are gradually forming the opinion that Crimea is a disputed territory, and the lands stolen in Georgia are “republics.” We talked about the inadmissibility of playing along in a hybrid war,” Gerashchenko wrote.
