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.
