New maps of Russia that include the captured and annexed Ukrainian territories are being issued and sold in Moscow.

Source: Kremlin-aligned news outlet RIA Novosti

Details: The Russian Cartography Centre said that maps are being issued, based on the information from Rosreestr [Russian federal executive body that provides public services relating to the registration of land rights and the cadastral registration of real estate - ed.].

Maps will apparently be printed by the piece and in limited circulation.

Background:

• On 5 October, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed "the laws on acceptance" into the Russian Federation of the occupied territories of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson Oblasts.
• The Office of the President of Ukraine has said that Putin's so-called "laws on the acceptance" of Ukrainian oblasts into Russia are not worth the paper they are signed on, and that Ukraine will reclaim all its territories.
