Greeks in the Donbas?

Marioupol has (had?) around 100.000 greeks.
The Crimea and other coastal regions in Ukraine had large greek communities too, until Stalin mass-deported them to Siberia.

The ancient Greeks colonized this part of the world starting in the 6th century BC, which is why they are/were there

Well, some of them. But most went there afterwards. 19th century Russia had a notable greek community; the Greek war of Independence planning started from the city of Odessa, after all.

Did more Greeks migrate there due to the already present Greek history in the region?

Highly likely, along with it at least being christian.

Not an ideal map due to the poor choice of colours (black specifically), but I really wanted to post it because I'm a passionate supporter of such laws and their expansion

I like that in some of those maps Crimea magically isn't any longer in Russia.

You know Ukraine will continue fighting until they've removed the invaders from every square inch of their territory. They will not accept any of these "solutions"

Poland has said many times that they would never take any Ukrainian territory, we don't want it. But ofc Russian planners don't listen to what other countries say..

Blame google. It is actually pretty hard to find altered maps for Ukraine - probably due to conflict (heh :/ ) with the news.
