Moscow bookstores have started selling maps showing the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine within their administrative borders as part of Russia, RBC reports.
The Atlas Print publishing house clarified that several designs of wall maps of Russia, Eurasia and the world, as well as an atlas of the world, were printed.
The map also shows territories controlled by the Ukrainian army as part of Russia. Shipments of cards to stores began earlier this week, the publisher said.

An RBC reporter confirmed that the wall maps made by Geza Kom with Ukrainian territories within Russia can be bought in several Moscow bookstores. They were told that these cards appeared recently and were “in demand among buyers,” the RBC says.
Russian retail chains suspended map sales as the State Duma was discussing a law on countering extremism.
On 28 September, the occupation “authorities” of the self-proclaimed “DPR”, “LPR”, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions reported the results of the “referendums” on joining Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called these “referendums” a “farce”. The only two countries to recognise the results of the “referendums” were North Korea and Syria.
