The map also appears to show the region in eastern Ukraine; Donbas which Russia claims, as part of Ukraine. The map was viewed 7.3m times as of the early morning hours of Ukrainian local time. It appears to be showing the per-liter cost of gasoline in European countries. The Russian embassy in Stockholm did not immediately respond to a media request for comments.
