Frequently asked questions

Q1. Why is Ukraine listed as the second-largest country in Europe? France is.

It's an ambiguous statement, and depends on whether you include non-European territories or not, and whether you include disputed territories or not. The totality of France (which includes French Guiana) is larger than Ukraine, but the European part of France (Metropolitan France) is smaller than Ukraine. See here, here, and here.

Circular reference

Climate of Ukraine → Geography of Ukraine#Climate → Main page: Climate of Ukraine. Is that OK? --W.M.drossel (talk) 10:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Climate

"The months of April and May, the hot and dry months when schools are on their long, between-years break, are referred to as summer while in most of the Northern Hemisphere those months are part of spring." - Who told you that nonsense? The Summer Holidays in Ukraine is the longest school holidays and a between-years break starting in the end of June and ending by 1st of September with the beginning of a new school year. And April-May are same normal months of spring as everywhere in Europe. Sometimes you may still see snow on the streets in the middle of April. That part of the article (including Seasons table) looks more like telling about Japan or some tropical country but definitely not about Ukraine. Take a look at the Spanish section and you'll get more real impression on that point. I think someone copied that info from the Climate of the Philippines. UPD: Removed that garble.

Second largest country in Europe?

Area error?

In section "Geographic location", we have the statement, "The total geographic area of Ukraine is 603,700 square kilometers (233,100 sq mi)."

The reference cited for this is the CIA World Fact Book which unambiguously states that the area of Ukraine is "603,550 sq km" [1].

britannica.com [2] states that "Ukraine’s land area measures 233,032 square miles (603,549 square km)."

Unless there is a very strong reason to the contrary, I suggest that we accept the rounding(?) made in the CIA Fact Book and quote the area as these two august authorities (almost) agree as 603,550 sq km (233,032 sq mi).

If anyone disagrees, please explain why here. Otherwise, the next time I visit this page after a week has past, I'll make the change. Any other editor should feel free to pre-empt me. Hedles (talk) 12:40, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
