"Oh, Crimea is not Russia? Nice," said one commenter of a post by a Russian embassy that showed a map with Crimea not included within Russia's borders.

The Russian Embassy in South Africa has shared a map online that shows illegally annexed Crimea as part of Ukraine.

A post on the embassy’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter, attempted to raise the profile of the BRICS grouping of world economies but appeared instead to endorse Crimea as being part of Ukraine.

The X post showed a world map with Ukraine’s borders containing not only eastern parts of its territory that Russia claims to have annexed but also Crimea—which was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014—in addition to BRICS members.

      It’s gonna be so weird how many of them manage to fall out of windows, or die in freak plane crashes. Gonna be like some final destination shit.

      In these moments it’s windows that suffer the most. Think of their panes.
