I think you should change it. The following arguments are political, but i think they are important to be heard.
There is no reason, why this seems to represent the EU instead of Europe, but then arbitrarily includes the UK and Switzerland, while excluding Norway, which undoubtedly is part of "Europe" even in the limited western European sense.
Also saying this map to represent "Europe" while Ukraine and all the non EU balkan Nations are not included seems to reinforce Putins ideas of which nation belongs into which sphere. I am sure this was not your intention. However Ukraine also needs economic ties to the western parts of the European continent more than ever, both during the war and whatever comes after it.
Should it also include Russia then? At least the half that is in Europe.
No. Hell no.
Unless we're looking to conquer it?
No thanks. That's like eating something you find under your seat on a public bus on a hot summer's day.
I’ve never had proper borscht, but cabbage can be pretty stinky when boiled, and beets taste like dirt to me.
