I dont like the choice of Ukraine that much, because it Doesn’t have an ancient history, like the other countries that got you features. However, the quiz itself is nice

I would like to suggest fixing some mistakes. I would appreciate if you would think about it.

1. The correct spelling is Chornobyl, not Chernobyl

2. The correct spelling is Prypiat, not Prypyat

3. Ukraine also won Eurovision 2022
