Is marking Ukraine as dark grey some kind of soft political statement here? Various countries outside of the EU are simply white (which makes sense, their gpd is not relevant for inta-EU comparison), but Ukraine specifically is dark grey, meaning “data not available”.

As far as I know, Ukraine would not be part of the area covered by Eurostat. But I could be mistaken, of course. Has Ukraine historically been part of such reports or has there been an on going partnership with the Ukrainian office for official statistics?

Both cases would be interesting, but the former would certainly be more exciting. I would certainly interpret it as some kind of “Ukraine belongs to Europe!”-statement.

According to Randall Munroe (the author behind xkcd.com) in his book ‘what if? 2’ a house sized cumulus cloud, which would be very small for a cloud, contains roughly one litre of water, which in turn weighs 1 kilogramm.

If you want to look it up and somehow find a version of the book online, this information is in the chapter about the largest thing you could theoretically eat in one sitting (it’s the cloud).
