African Union has proposed a resolution to UN to replace the Mercator map with Equal Earth map, which represents countries’ sizes more accurately.

The resolution passed with 164 in favor, 1 against, 6 abstained.

One of the countries that abstained is Ukraine, as the proposed map had Crimea marked as neutral territory.
