Associated Press news agency no longer recognizes Crimea as part of Ukraine



US news agency Associated Press is no longer marking news items coming from Crimea as Ukrainian. In a blog statement, the American news major explained that the Ukrainian regime had lost control over the peninsula, and stressed its marking practice was based on the actual state of things.

Where it once used this dateline: "SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine (AP)," it will now use this one: "SEVASTOPOL, Crimea (AP)."
