No matter whatever we like it or not, Crimea is no longer controlled by Ukraine and situation here is quite clear, unlike other affected regions. We should apply here "Note that OSM follows On the Ground Rule <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes#On_the_Ground_Rule>. Boundaries recorded inOpenStreetMap are ones that are the most widely internationally recognised and best meets realitieson the ground, generally meaning physical control."
