Ukraine investigates Coca-Cola and Pepsico over Crimea map row

KIEV, Jan 21 (Reuters) Ukrainian prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into the online publication by US drinks companies Coca-Cola and Pepsico of a map that showed Crimea as a part of Russia, a Ukrainian lawmaker said on Thursday.
Russia annexed the peninsula from Ukraine in March 2014, leading to condemnation from Western governments and the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia. Ukraine and most other countries have refused to recognise the annexation.
Coca-Cola last month said that the map, which appeared on December 30 on Coca-Cola's page on VKontakte, a Russian social networking site similar to Facebook, had been changed by an advertising agency without Coca-Cola's approval.
