Russia's embassy in South Africa shared a map in a social media post that shows Crimea as part of Ukraine.
The August 28 post on X, formerly Twitter, showed a map highlighting countries expected to be members of the BRICS grouping in 2024, with the caption: "Reality of a new multipolar world."
While Russia is highlighted in the map, Ukraine, intact with the Crimean Peninsula, is not.
The post was quickly deleted -- the map was created by another source -- but not before it had been noticed, and mocked, by many users. Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014.
