Update Regarding IP Geolocations in Ukraine

February 25, 2022
This release note is more than two years old and may no longer reflect current behavior. View the latest release notes.

IP addresses that are geolocated to the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk currently return Ukraine for the country in MaxMind’s products and services.

MaxMind’s IP geolocation products and services use GeoNames to determine the name of the country in which an IP address is located. At this time, we do not have plans to diverge from GeoNames for IP addresses located in disputed regions.
