- ... that because of the Russo-Ukrainian War, more then 25,000 km (16,000 mi) of state and local roads, and 344 bridges and overpasses, were destroyed or damaged in Ukraine?

- Here is my review of this DYK nomination:
General eligibility:
- New enough:
- The main nominated article (Roads in Ukraine) was created on 30 October 2007 by another user (EuroHighway~enwiki) and was not expanded fivefold by user NikolaiVektovich (DYK nominator), and was not moved to mainspace, or promoted to Good Article status within 7 days of this DYK nomination. - Long enough:
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing: - The main nominated article (Roads in Ukraine) contains "citation needed" templates and not each paragraph contains at least one citation to a reliable source.
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - Maybe, but I have not checked every sentence and every reference because this DYK nomination is too far away from being accepted due to significant violations of "new enough" and "adequate sourcing" requirements.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - The nominated DYK hook is currently not included or described in the main nominated article (Roads in Ukraine) and the source supporting the nominated DYK hook is also not used in the main nominated article (Roads in Ukraine).
Image eligibility:
- Freely licensed:
- Used in article: - The nominated picture is not currently used in the main nominated article (Roads in Ukraine).
- Clear at 100px:
| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
NikolaiVektovich, thanks for submitting an interesting DYK hook which likely might have been accepted in other circumstances, but it is not possible at the moment. I suggest you to read Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines to understand the requirements for DYK nominations. Unfortunately, interesting DYK hooks cannot be accepted if the main nominated article (in this case Roads in Ukraine) do not satisfy the requirements of Guidelines#Newness, so firstly you should put quite a lot of work to an article before nominating a DYK hook. -- Pofka (talk) 16:28, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
