On the map shown by Putin is Ukraine: Photofact

The map was made in the 17th century by the French cartographer Guillaume Sanson. Ukraine is marked as the "land of the Cossacks" and Crimea as a separate state called the Crimean Khanate. Ukraine is marked on the French map of Louis XIV, although the President of Russia and the chairman of the Constitutional Court were approved the opposite. The picture of the card is posted on the site of the digital library of the National Library of France and its partners Gallica.

The map was created by the cartographer of the Guillaume Sanson in the 17th century. If you look at her picture, you can see that the lands that are part of modern Ukraine are marked there as Ukraine pays des cosaques (Ukraine of Cossacks, ed. ). At that time, she was part of the Commonwealth. In addition, Crimea, annexed Russian in 2014, the cartograph was outlined as a separate state - the Crimean Khanate, which in alliance with the Ottoman Empire fought with the Russian kingdom.

And the area where Emperor Peter I will erect St. Petersburg - the city where Vladimir Putin was born - marked as Ingria and belongs to Sweden. We will remind, on May 23 Vladimir Putin launched a new fake about Ukraine. The President of Russia believes that before the creation of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) in 1919, Ukrainians have never had their own state.
