Does anybody happen to know why Russia and Moldova are classified as
Global North whereas Ukraine and Belarus are classified as Global South,
from the WMF point of view? There is some discussion (specifically about
Belarus) at the talk page, but it is too heated and I was not able to
get the point.

I notice this in the Chapter-wide Financial Trends Report 2013. I am
wondering whether this has more serious implications like finance
distribution etc.
Cheers
