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.
Huh, I didn’t even notice that.
Weird, considering the UN officially recognizes all of Ukraine as… Ukraine.
Also weird that, knowing this, Ukraine abstained and not voted against. Although this is probably because politics and international affairs.
