--- Comment #1 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> ---
We get these data from IANA (ICANN), upstream TZ database maintainer.  Per
their zone{,1970}.tab files:

# The obsolescent zone.tab format cannot represent Europe/Simferopol well.
# Put it in RU section and list as UA.  See "territorial claims" above.
# Programs should use zone1970.tab instead; see above.
UA      +4457+03406     Europe/Simferopol       Crimea

# Mention RU and UA alphabetically.  See "territorial claims" above.
RU,UA   +4457+03406     Europe/Simferopol       Crimea

Other distributions follow it as well, cf. this Red Hat bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080526.  As there's not much we
can do here on our side, we should probably close this PR.
