Why are the DPR and LPR not highlighted in green?

[edit]

Why are DNR and LNR not highlighted in green on this map? Here, on the map of Moldova and Azerbaijan, Transnistria and Nagorno-Karabakh are highlighted in green, and for some reason the DPR and LPR are not highlighted on the map of Ukraine. 46.0.220.63 07:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for the highlighted territory in the cases you mention is not the militias forming a breakaway state, it's the open involvement of a recognised foreign government occupying that territory.
Breakaway states without the open and broad involvement of the military of a recognised country do not get highlighted. Look at Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.
