Ukraine's Embassy in Washington has called on U.S. channel CNN to better check the facts after the publication of a photo of the Russian-occupied city of Simferopol with the caption "Russian city."
"We hope that our friends from CNN will do better fact checking and content choice. Simferopol is a Ukrainian city in Crimean peninsula occupied by Russia. Don't follow Russia's playbook. Crimea is Ukraine," the embassy wrote on Twitter.
