Thanks for your thorough research. For most of these it depends on whether you take the distance from occupied Crimea (which we have) or not (in which case Russia would move out to 900 km away, near the town of Taman'). However, whichever way you measure it, Syria and Lebanon should have been on the list, so we have added them now.

No, because Cyprus now belongs to Asia, so it is more far away from Greece now.
