If you consider Crimea to be part of Ukraine, then Austria comes onto this list, and Greece drops off.

If you consider Crimea part of Russia maybe you should write it. Just because not everyone agrees on this point.

Not everyone agrees on Cyprus being in Asia either (or Turkey being in Europe), yet it doesn't require specific mention in every quiz. No matter how unfair you think it is, Crimea is de facto annexed by Russia and no amount of our justified tears will change that.

This unveils that you are recognizing Russia's annexation of Crimea, unless Austria would be much closer to Kaliningrad than Greece's most-eastern point to Taman...

It's a distance form Kaliningrad, so it's almost directly north-south direction, rather than east-west. And Czechia is much further north thqn Slovakia.
