As far as I understood, the maps originate from natural earth vector. In their admin 0 notation, the maps show Crimea as a part of Russia. This does not follow US or EU regulations. Thus, websites and companies that rely on these maps often unknowingly do not follow the regulations provided by United Nations (including the map below https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/world-atlas@2/countries-110m.json). You guys should consider informing users about this phenomena or proving alternative versions.

Hi! I made a clone of project with aforementioned borders.
You can view it here: Topojson with Crimeea, HK, Singapore
Unfortunately, the client that requested it closed the website.
Good luck!

Also looking for a topojson that doesn't show Crimea as part of Russia. Why was this ever a thing anyway? Hey @dd1b how were you able to separate out these different shapes?

@phocks I changed the arcs that corresponds to Crimeea and assigned them to Ukraine polygon
