  As it was mapped a week ago: BOTH ways (included in BOTH country polygons).

  If required - disputed territory (polygon geometry) can be mapped as
"disputed=yes" with a tag "ground_control=ICHTAMNET|RU|UA", you could
then additionally make a map of World disputed territories. Or you
could use this to subtract from claimed territory to get "controlled"
polygon. So:
  st_difference(Boundary UA, Disputed where ground_control != UA)
  gives you active territory for geocoding and stuff.

  Disputed borders (line geometry) could be mapped with additional
tag: claimed_by=RU|UA so that Russians could ignore borders with
claimed_by=UA, rest of the world could ignore borders with
claimed_by=RU. OSM Could display both but differently.

  Voila... This way DATA represents ALL parties. No reason for the conflict.
