Russo-Ukrainian War → Russia-Ukraine War – The title should just have the 2 fighting countries Russia and ukraine. most articles i see define this as the russia ukraine war. the term russo is hardly ever used so it should say russia not russo. 173.72.3.91 (talk) 15:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

You have to tell us what you want to name it, we can't guess. Slatersteven (talk) 15:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for now actually telling us (this was added after my reply) now explain why. Slatersteven (talk) 15:22, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Also see Russo-Japanese War Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) Russo-Georgian War, this is not an unusual styling. Slatersteven (talk) 15:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

but most news websites now like CNN style this as the Russia Ukraine war 173.72.3.91 (talk) 15:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Do they? I see a lot of results for "Ukraine Russia war" and our current title (such as nato [[1]]). Slatersteven (talk) 15:42, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

https://www.hrw.org/tag/russia-ukraine-war human rights watch shows russia ukraine war 173.72.3.91 (talk) 15:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Sources (that seem okay)

Ilya Ponomarev, (went against, or ) opposed several of Putin's top projects in Russian politics, including voting against the occupation of Crimea in 2014. He went into exile in Ukraine in 2016.--Source,

I am unsure this is a good source,. Slatersteven (talk) 11:06, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds about right. Here is another source saying the same thing. Meduza is a Russian-language media based in Latvia, they are usually reliable. Alaexis_¿question? 19:20, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Cuban support to Russia

Consider this an edit request: Someone should add Cuban involvement under "Russian military suppliers" as Cubans have absolutely been involved in the fighting as infantry/manpower.

We do not list mercenaries. Slatersteven (talk) 11:41, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Not all of them are mercenaries though, they've been officially joining the Russian army to add to their manpower: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-19/war-in-ukraine-cubans-are-still-being-recruited-by-russia?embedded-checkout=true "According to the EU, the Kremlin has forced thousands of migrants as well as foreign students and workers to fight alongside Russian troops." --DC Ambrose (talk) 11:48, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

That still makes them mercenaries. What wouldn't is if they are official units of the Cuban army being sent there, as units of the Cuban army. Slatersteven (talk) 11:50, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
