Q1. Why is Ukraine listed as the second-largest country in Europe? France is. (Or alternately, Denmark 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. Although Denmark is in Europe, Greenland is in North America.

Good afternoon, I would like to request a review of the section structure in the article on Ukraine. In the forth paragraph of the introduction, it is mentioned corruption remains significant problem. While corruption is an important issue, I have noticed an inconsistency in how it is presented in other countries Wiki pages. For example, according to Corruption Perceptions Index (2023) Turkey has a lower score than Ukraine. However, the introduction of the English Wiki article on Turkey does not mention it in introduction, which most people read. This raises concers about neutraility and uniformity in what way information about Ukraine is given, and how it shapes readers mind, especially in the context of Russias war against Ukraine, and hybrid attacks, espcially intended on engslish speaking countries and audience, which help Ukraine. To ensure consistency and fairness, I propose either, moving the mention of corruption in the Ukraine article to a more appropriate section such as Politics or Economy, where it can be discussed in detail alongside other issues. Alternatively, if corruption is to be included in the introductiory paragraphs according to you, then for neutrality a similar mention should be add to all country articles where for example CPI score is equal or lower than Ukraine's, for exaple Turkey, Serbia, Brazil, Bosnia and others. This would help maintain neutrality and ensure fair corruption related remarks accross different pages or stop giving the negative conotation especially for so called "West" audience which helps Ukraine the most and others. Thank you for your time and consideration. I love Wikipedia and support your values and mission Fromstartospace (talk) 20:24, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a specific request to move the information on corruption to the relevant part of the article about Ukraine or to use, in all countries ‘worse’ and equal to Ukraine in terms of corruption, the same style and place of writing for example in Turkey, Serbia, and other articles.

There are no descriptions of interest to average citizens,
e.g. who pays pensions in the Ukrainian lands occupied by Russia? Kiev or Moscow through their banks and in what currency? What about pensioners who do not accept the Russian occupation in occupied Ukraine and do not want to accept Russian citizenship? What is the medical care like in the occupied areas? What is the interest rate on housing loans and how do Ukrainians repay them in the occupied and unoccupied lands; what about loans if houses have been demolished, residents killed or injured or have gone abroad? Are the postage stamps and banknotes used in the occupied Ukrainian lands typical all-Russian or Russian regional? Mir.Nalezinski (talk) 09:35, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think IMHO, that a section/subsection regarding the long list of scientists, engineers and inventors of ukrainian descent is lacking. People such as Sikorsky, Ian Koum and Max Levchin, to name but a few. 87.18.126.80 (talk) 19:03, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Generally speaking, long lists of people rarely make for good article content. We could well have a section on Ukrainian science and technology, but a list of scientists of Ukrainian descent is probably not suitable for this article. Jeppiz (talk) 19:42, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
