gehört Jewpatorija de facto zum Föderationssubjekt Südrussland der Russischen Föderation.
This misstates Russia’s own administrative structure: ‘Southern Russia’ is not a federal subject. Under Russia’s de facto system, Yevpatoria is in the Republic of Crimea, which is part of the Southern Federal District.
Full reasoning
The sentence mixes up two different Russian administrative levels.
Under Russia’s own constitutional list of federal subjects, the relevant subject is the Republic of Crimea — not “Südrussland” (Southern Russia). The Russian Constitution’s chapter on the federal structure explicitly lists the Republic of Crimea among the subjects of the Russian Federation.
Separately, the Federation Council’s regional reference page says the Republic of Crimea is part of the Southern Federal District. A federal district is an umbrella district above the regional level, not a federal subject itself.
So if the article is describing the de facto Russian-administered unit, the correct Russian federal subject would be the Republic of Crimea. Calling “Südrussland” the federal subject is factually incorrect.
