A storm of reactions has been caused after the video released by the UK Ministry of Defence in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, showing half of Cyprus.
Specifically, this is a video in which the UK MoD wanted to present the countries that condemn the Russian invasion, however, in the case of Cyprus, the map of the country was presented without the occupied areas and the British Bases.
As soon as the video in question saw the light of day, as expected, the reactions started. Of course, each side reacted in a different direction.
Several T/C media were quick, from the very first moment, to interpret the video as "the first time a UK official has portrayed Cyprus as divided and accepted the reality".
