Ukrainian version of the service, but also in the Russian one.
The names of several dozen settlements have been changed in the Russia-annexed Crimea. Thus, Krasnoperekopsk is now called Yani Kapu, the district center Krasnogvardeiski is now – Kurman, Kirovskoye — Islam-Terek and Sovetskoye is now called Ichki. The name change is displayed not only in the Ukrainian version of the Google Maps service, but also in several other foreign versions, including Russian.
When you try to look for these titles in the Belarusian version of Google Maps, the service will show you place-names in Ukrainian and in Russian languages.
Google’s legal grounds for renaming towns was the adoption by Verkhovna Rada in May of the legal framework on decommunisation (decree #4087) which included giving new names to 70 settlements and five district towns in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
The adoption of the draft was voted in by 255 deputies. Majority of the new names are of Crimean Tatar origin.
