Crimea is no longer a part of Ukraine, according to The Associated Press.
The news wire issued a style change on Wednesday about how to identify Crimea, a peninsula that Russia moved to annex from Ukraine a day earlier.
“Previously, we wrote ‘SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine (AP).’ But Ukraine no longer controls Crimea, and AP datelines should reflect the facts on the ground,” the news wire wrote in a guidance.
Effective this week, the AP said it will now name a city and then Crimea, The Hill informs.
