The Kyiv Independent: "Kyiv protests new UN map separating Crimea from Ukraine"
(kyivindependent.com)
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.
It is indeed bad and inaccurate.
I bet they only chose it because it looked similar enough to Mercator, unlike Dymaxion or other options.
People really hate change, friction, and doing something in a new way, even as small as using a different map.
So they settled for Equal Earth map as a compromise, because it's a slight incremental improvement over Mercator, rather than a fully new thing.
