Finally, OpenStreetMap Foundation reversed latest OSM DWG statement of Crimea, where DWG claimed that Crimea was marked as "Russia only territory".
OSM released version 1.4 of "Proposed features/Mapping disputed boundaries".[0]
Embassy of Ukraine to UK already posted[1] reaction on new decision:
> We welcome the decision of @openstreetmap to review its position regarding the Autonomous Republic of #Crimeaisukraine and to include it into the territory of #Ukraine. https://goo.gl/6Gt3eT https://goo.gl/6Gt3eT
OpenStreetMap Ukraine (Ukrainian OSM community) also reacted[2]:
> Українська спільнота @openstreetmap вітає рішення ОСМФ щодо неділимості та теріторіальної цілісності України / The Ukrainian #OSM community welcomes the decision of the #OSMF on the indivisibility and territorial integrity of Ukraine #crimeaisukraine
At this moment previous DWG statement is in power, where Crimea at this moment is disputed territory between Ukraine (Crimea is part of Ukraine according international law) and Russia (Crimea annexed by Russian Army since March 2014)
P.S.: Two weeks ago Embassy of Ukraine to UK officially few times requested OpenStreetMap to correct information on http://www.openstreetmap.org http://www.openstreetmap.org with regard to the status of the temporarily occupied #Crimea.[3]
As result of this story few OSM users published their suggestion that "OpenStreetMap Foundation silently sides with Russia".[4]
