London (CNN Business) Apple is facing a backlash from Ukraine after marking the disputed territory of Crimea as a part of Russia in its apps for Russian users. Apple Maps also shows a border between the rest of Ukraine and Crimea — and no border at the Kerch Strait, between Russia and Crimea. For users outside of Russia, Crimea appears as part of Ukraine in Apple Maps, and without a country designation when searching in the weather app. For Russian users Apple Maps now shows a border between the rest of Ukraine and Crimea. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 after a popular uprising unseated Ukraine's pro-Russian president.
