Looks like some former USSR countries in Eastern Europe, like Ukraine or Lithuania, use +3 country codes. Was this always the case or was it changed after the dissolution of the USSR?
During the Soviet occupation and for a period after it, the country used the Soviet numbering: +7 012 area code until 1993;[4] the legacy numbering was used for the national area codes until it was replaced in 2001–2003;[5] the domestic prefix "8" was replaced with "0" in 2024 (and fully deactivated in 2025[1]), despite being planned since 2001.[3][6] The delay was due to legacy emergency numbers 01, 02 and 03, which were kept active until 1 April 2022.[

Going through my phonebook and replacing 8's with zeroes was a mess.

Back in the Cold War somebody commented how apt it was that if you wanted to call Russia from the UK you have to dial 007

Still mad america stole half of +1. CANADA INVENTED IT, THEY SHOULD HAVE SOLE OWNERSHIP OF +1.
