Please do a minor the grammer fix. In the International Aspects, under reactions, in the first paragraph, it says "...shift its coal exports to from Europe...". Please remove the first "to". Thank you for your time. Chunkybeef9847 (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Infobox: Belligerents edit
Under Belligerents, it is shown Russia, Donetsk , Luhansk PR and supported by Belarus on one side and on the other side, Ukraine. Shouldn't on the other side show Ukraine and supported by USA, UK and EU or NATO? Sarvagyana guru (talk) Sarvagyana guru (talk) 09:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Should France be added as a belligerent or as at least supporting Ukraine ? edit
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-commander-french-military-instructors-visit-ukrainian-training-centres-2024-05-27/ Clearly sending french soldiers into Ukraine to train Ukrainian units would make them active participants and targets for the russian military. https:theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/04/british-soldiers-on-ground-ukraine-german-military-leak It is also surprising that the British haven't been already added to the belligerents section given the leaked German military phone call that detailed British troops are on the ground helping with missile targeting. 94.142.59.241 (talk) 20:59, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Map which shows territories controlled and regained from Russia in Ukraine is somewhat misleading edit
The first map at the top uses a very similar colo(u)r for bodies of water and territories that Russia no longer occupies. This makes the area around the Dnipro river confusing, as a reader could very well believe that it is territory formerly occupied by Russian forces due to the similar colors. A change in colors for this map (such as changing the color of territories regained by Ukraine to a color other than blue) could be helpful. Thanks Icantthinkofaname1 (talk) 00:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Light green or a deeper yellow could both work. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 06:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yellow is already the color Ukrainian held territory is being used for, and any other shade could still be mistaken. Green would give the idea of "Ukraine good Russia bad" by implying Ukraine retaking territory is a good thing(while it might be a good thing for you or others, it goes against the idea that wikipedia should be a neutral source) Purple could work though, it is different from the rest of the map and is more neutral Icantthinkofaname1 (talk) 22:31, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
I think there needs to be a broader question on whether it should be included in the map at all. The other way around (territory recaptured by Russia) isn't indicated in any way, making the map unbalanced in terms of what it's trying to portray. Right now, for example, there is no indication that those two areas captured by Russia in the 2024 Kharkiv offensive were previously indicated as "light blue" on the map. So in effect, the map is presenting a biased view where Ukrainian territorial regains are represented, but Russian territorial regains are not. I think this should be addressed.--JasonMacker (talk) 23:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
