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
