Ukraine, question by question

Belarus is a wrong choice for Kyiv and again for Ukraine's outline. Sweden, Kazakhstan and Romania sit beside Ukraine in the flag round. Ukraine's shape is shown beside Poland, Belarus and Romania. Romania is on both lists.

Trivia asks: “Which two Nordic countries joined NATO after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022?” The answer is Finland and Sweden. It also asks: “What currency does Ukraine use?” (Hryvnia). Ukraine's numbers: the Dnieper River at 2,285 km and independence declared in 1991. Snake Island and Danube Delta, two of 13 Ukraine photos, are marked easy; Sviatohirsk Lavra is marked hard.
