Coca-Cola has officially apologized to Ukraine about the publication by its Russian office of a map showing Crimea as part of Russia.

The Ukrainian embassy in the U.S. said on Facebook on Thursday that a meeting with Kate Irvin, the head of the Washington office of Coca-Cola, had taken place in the Ukrainian diplomatic mission on Wednesday and that Irvin during that meeting had officially apologized for the misunderstanding caused by the publication by the company's Russian office of a map showing Crimea as part of Russia.

Irvin also gave a letter from Coca-Cola Senior Vice-President Clyde Tuggle to Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S. Valeriy Chaly, which contained apologies for the publication and stated that its content had been created by an independent agency without the company's knowledge or approval, but the company assumes full responsibility for it. The letter (its copy is also quoted in the embassy report) states that the company had immediately deleted the said publication as soon as it received information on the situation.

On Wednesday, Zaporizhia parliamentarians reacted to the incident by preparing a lawsuit seeking the protection of their honor, dignity and business reputation and seeking to recover from Coca-Cola UAH 1 million in moral damages for "a breach of international law."

DONETSK (Sputnik) — The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic's (DPR) intelligence has detected the presence of alleged US mercenaries in southern Donbass, DPR deputy defense minister said Thursday. "17 military personnel of a private military company were seen in the "Port City" nigh club in [the eastern Ukrainian city] Mariupol. Presumably, they are citizens of the United States. They spoke English and had US insignias..," Eduard Basurin said.

On December 23, 2015, DPR's Defense Ministry said some 100 Turkish mercenaries had arrived in Mariupol, while about 200 people, speaking Polish, Slovak and Turkish had arrived in another eastern Ukrainian city of Artemovsk.

Russia should threaten the Coca-Cola company with expulsion from the Russian market.   The Coke peddlers can decide
which market is more important to them.

"More than 800 monuments to Lenin have been dismantled in Ukraine as of now," he told TV Channel 5 on Tuesday, Ukrainian online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda wrote.

He also said that statements that objects with artistic value were destroyed on the pretext of de-communization were not true. At the same time, he claims that the spontaneous process of de-communization, which had started before Ukraine adopted the law on de-communization, is still under way.

"The de-communization law gives us an opportunity to disassemble everything that has some artistic value and store it in museums, otherwise it will be part of spontaneous d de-communization, which is still under way in Ukraine," he said.

"We can showcase the Soviet past in special museums, theme parks, but we cannot let the Soviet past remain part of our life, as it distorts us," he added.

Shows what you know. Coca-Cola is a big investor in Russia, it has 1-2 factories here at least.

Yes, Dniepr Electric Dam, Malyshev, Antonov, Motor Sich, 19 nuclear power plants... all are the products of "Soviet past". Please dismantle all of them, Maidan.

You obviously missed the video from late 2014 which showed a whole truckload of these Polish mercs retreating from around the
Donetsk airport.   Stop being such an apologist for NATO.
