According to Censor.NET, the story was broadcast during the national telethon "United News".
The telethon featured a map showing the temporarily occupied Crimea as the territory of Russia. The distorted map was shown on January 16 at 4:06 p.m.
During the story about the communal collapse spread by Russia, a map of Russian territories, including Crimea, was shown.
Later, the TV channel "We-Ukraine" commented on the situation and admitted that the story "indeed showed a map of Russia, which mistakenly marked the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea."
"This is a serious mistake. The team recognizes its responsibility. The degree of guilt of each of those involved in the creation and broadcast of the material is being determined. The perpetrators will inevitably be punished," the TV channel said in a commentary.
