Re: Yet more racial stereotyping

I'm the one who made that edit to the map. This issue has already been discussed several times on Wikipedia, and each time the result of the discussion was to show the occupied regions in UTC+3, because the map has always been de facto:

Yes, Russia does enforce UTC+3 in these regions, and the people there actually observe it, as reported by many sources:

Your accusation is ridiculous. I have absolutely nothing to do with the Russian government, I'm not Russian, I've never been to Russia, I don't even speak Russian, and I don't endorse the invasion of Ukraine. And neither does the map, because it still shows the occupied regions as part of Ukraine, with the border between Russia and Ukraine (white line on the map) as internationally recognized. The map simply shows that these regions observe UTC+3, because that's the reality.
