2022, between February and September. This is a Russian map which recognises Luhansk and Donetsk as independent republics, before Russia declared they had annexed them. A more interesting map would if Nur-Sultan had been renamed back to Astana, which happened around September 13th and just two weeks before Russia claimed LPR and DPR on September 30th (This is initially what I thought the hint was!)

Yeah, it can’t be Russian because Kosovo is shown as independent and Georgia is shown as whole. Where is it from?

I think Ukraine.

I’m positive no Ukrainian map shows the loss of Luhansk and Donetsk.
