Apple Music app shows Crimea, a Russia occupied Ukrainian peninsula, as a part of occupying country. Ukrainian authorities will contact Apple to resolve the issue.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has instructed the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States to contact Apple to find out why Crimea was depicted as part of Russia in the Apple Music app, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Oleh Nikolenko has said.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already instructed the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States to contact Apple to sort out this situation," Nikolenko told Interfax-Ukraine on Wednesday.

He recalled that the resolutions of the UN General Assembly clearly require all parties to refrain from actions that could call into question the status of Crimea as an integral part of the territory of Ukraine.
