More facts
[edit]Is the majority Russian-speaking? Including rural areas?
- To the best of my knowledge, yes. Rural residents speak either Russian or Surzhyk. Ukrained 19:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
"Autonomy"
[edit]Who exactly declared autonomy in November 2004? The article leaves this open-ended; has this declaration been repealed? —Michael Z. 2005-04-19 02:08 Z
- Since nobody answers the question of Mzajac, I removed the following passage:
- On November 26, 2004 the Luhansk Oblast declared its autonomy and asked to be admitted into the Russian Federation.many
- and the reasons are:
- no logic in there - even if the oblast was declared an autonomy, - it doesn't mean it can be admitted into anywhere
- Ukraine is a unitarian state, no oblast can declare itself an autonomy (not to mention independent) without the all-national constitutional reform; any claim of international self-dedinition made in other way is a legal case of separatism and partition
- as far as I know, all "separatist" claims in Donbas were later dismissed by their authors as "unofficial" and "political protest only"
- according to the official statement of Russian government (regarding South Ossetia case), no separatist part of a neighboring country may be admitted into federation without an approval of that country.

It is needless to go into details of this but you were right to remove what was written here. The events are covered briefly in the third paragraph of the chapter Orange_revolution#The_protests. If anyone's interested in writing a separate article on these events, s/he could go into details. --Irpen 01:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think that what the sentence wanted to say was that the situation as left in a limbo. In actuality, Ukraine is not that of an unitary state. Look at Krym Republic.Constantzeanu 20:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- You're actually wrong. As per Art.2 of the Constitution of Ukraine, Ukraine is the unitary state. As for the where the situation was left... let me speculate that Donbas is not really a separatist problem (Crimea is): those Donetsk guys need the whole Ukraine for the plans of their minders. Best wishes, Ukrained
The flag
[edit]The status of the flag is unclear. To the best of my knowledge, the oblasts of Ukraine may have neither flag nor coat of arms - unlike cities. Crimea, Kiev and Sevastopol are the official exclusions. Ukrained 19:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- You are mistaken. Oblasts do have flags and Coats of Arms. How much this has to do with heraldical rules is a totally different question and you are right finding this strange, since most oblasts are more or less artificial creatures of the Soviet administrative reform of end-20s. --Irpen 00:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
How is "ethnic Ukrainian" defined?
[edit]The article states: "The population is largely Russian-speaking, although ethnic Ukrainians constitute a majority (58.0%)". How is "ethnic Ukrainian" defined? Is it defined by self-identification?--Vitzque (talk) 09:20, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- It is defined by manipulation with statistics and by the obtrusion of Ukrainian identity. 128.74.206.11 (talk) 08:57, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

History section - "Ukraine (1991–2022)"
[edit]I suggest that we split the subheading "Ukraine (1991–2022)" into two sections. The first section will be "Ukraine (1991–2014)", "Pro-Russian insurgency (2014–2022)" (or something along those lines), and "Russian occupation (2022–present)". Also, there are two other points to mention; we are meant to use this symbol "–" for the years, rather than "-". And we should not have hyperlinks in the titles themselves but rather underneath them. I've not yet elected to split the sections up yet due to the lack of content overall. So, we also need to expand these sections. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 22:05, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and implemented my suggestions above, but I've also added "update" and "expand" templates due to the outdated information or lack of information in these sections, respectively. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 01:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
"Luhansk Parliamentary Republic"
[edit]Clarification is needed on whether this statelet actually existed prior to the establishment of the Luhansk People's Republic or was instead a theoretical project that never came to fruition. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 01:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
Country Change: Russia
[edit]Russia's annexation, need to change the country to Russia as it is no longer Ukrainian territory. 162.157.118.124 (talk) 01:31, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose - The article clearly states at the top of the page that it relates to the oblast as defined by the Government of Ukraine. There is a link at the top of the article that takes readers to the claimed Russian federal subject. If the anonymous user making this request believes that there is a "Luhansk Oblast" in Russia, he/she can create a new article for that polity following this link Luhansk Oblast (Russia). Cordyceps-Zombie (talk) 12:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- No. A guy in Moscow says they are in Russia. Ukrainian boots on the ground disagree. The rest of the world recognizes no change in status. Refer to reliable sources. —Michael Z. 17:14, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Putin’s spokesman just admitted he has no clue what he’s supposedly already “annexed”: “the deliberation of the new Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions had not been decided.”[1] —Michael Z. 17:34, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- This is Ukrainian territory, albeit occupied by a foreign power. BeŻet (talk) 14:48, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Updated number of Raions
[edit]Currently it is listed that there are 18 raions in the oblast. This appears to be outdated information from prior to the 2020 reforms and is inconsistent with other available sources both externally and on other Wikipedia pages which list that there are presently eight (8) raions in the oblast. Pleas consider updating to make the page more current and accurate, thank you. [2]
