Some notes:

I'll admit that no source explicitly stated that Ukraine had x amount of red-haired people / x% of Ukraine's population was red-haired; I just figured that an assumption of 1% of Ukraine's population being red-haired was reasonable considering its neighbors' figures.

Brazil most likely does not have 2+ million red-haired people. However the source only listed that redheads accounted for less than 1 percent of Brazil's population - it didn't give a specific number, so I just assumed 1 percent.
