Has any map provider, like Google Maps, changed Crimea to be part of Russia?

National Geographic, if you want to count them as a "map provider."

Google Maps is now displaying it as "disputed territory", like West Bank or Hans Island.

Depends on Country, actually. Google Maps displays it as "disputed" in most of the world, as "Ukraine" in the Ukraine, and as "Russia" in Russia.

The question is: what does Google displays in Crimea ?

I would hope that the message is 'Disputed Territory', however it probably depends on where the uplink is.

The Internet providers assign Russian mainland IPs to Crimean users, to circumvent the sanctions regime, so they see it the same way Russia sees it.
