Do you pray to the invisible hand of the free market before going to bed every night?

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.

Maybe OP knows more.

I guess it is not lying when you believe it yourself. That does not make it true though.
