@GreatLeader1945: I reverted your move. While it's not strictly necessary to discuss a move before doing it, this page has already been moved in 2022, and the name "Ukraine" has been removed from the article title. Additionally, I think we should avoid making an overlong article title even longer, and we should avoid having "of" twice. Of course you are free to start a move discussion.

At first in the article it says the annexations were unrecognized, and then it says in the very next clause “except for North Korea and Syria”. So if it is internationally recognized it cannot possibly be unrecognized. This should be edited to prevent confusion in the future. 2601:46:880:ED00:6095:54F3:A56E:2A8A (talk) 21:08, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
