And if all those millions of ukrainians really wanted to keep their home - they would not have fled, by the millions, instead of fighting - while letting the govt grift over 100 billion into their pockets.
East Ukraine was Russian. West Ukraine was/is Nazis. They have national holidays and statues to Nazi officer Stephan Bandera etc.
You got it backwards. Way back when Ukraine was called Rus (Kievan Rus) a faction moved east and named themselves muscovites then later Russians.
Same as with religion, those Russians disagreed with the Pope and started Orthodox faith. Ukrainians stayed Catholic but insisted on a patriarch so Rome's rules did not undermine the original.
As for culture and language, there are 5 major regions in ukraine. The region closest to Russia (Poltava) kept it the same, Russia continued the same or very similar.
Ukraine is not a Russian territory. It was given to Stalin after WW2 and they incorporated it into the Soviet Union.

No.

"The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Ukrainian SSR) was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union that existed from 1922 to 1991. After its proclamation on March 10, 1919, it was initially nominally independent, but in December 1922 it became one of the founding members of the USSR."
"Ukraine is a founding member of the United Nations.
Specifically, the (USSR) joined the UN on October 24, 1945 as one of the original 51 founding members. This membership was granted to the Soviet Republic to secure the Soviet Union de facto three votes in the General Assembly and, at times, two in the Security Council."
Knowing someone from Ukraine, they are Russian, they want to be Russian, Zelensky is a fucktard who wasn't "elected" - it's the same playbook around the entire planet
Ukraine is not a country, it's a Russian territory and belongs to Russia. Ukrainian people are ethnicity Russian. Always has been.
I remember reading that ‘Ukraine’ even means outer territory or something to that effect.
Borderlands.
Yeah that's what it was, thanks.
Correct.

Maybe because if you go back far enough it used to BE part of Russia.
Not even that far back.

TOTALLY AGREE, however it is the West that is having its ethnicity problems. Ireland, Australia and England are diluted by a third now.

Kievan Rus was not Ukrainian, it was first Russian kingdom.

I don't give a damn what the scumbags at the United Nations think.
Language does NOT determine ethnicity.
The Somalis invading Minnesota are certainly not Americans, much less Minnesotans.
Likewise, all of Europe suffering turd world invasions of non-Euros.
