Therefore following the meaning of this it does not matter who actually started shooting at whom in the 2 breakaway provinces of Ukraine or whether or not Russian speaking people in Ukraine are being oppressed by the Kiev regime or not. All these events pale in comparison to the fact that Ukraine has always been a Russian terrirory but when the USSR disintegrated the US took advantage of the situation and started moving NATO to the east and now Ukraine was on the brink of becoming a NATO country.

In fact, I already wrote earlier that Ukraine as a state existed much earlier than Russia. True, both Ukraine and Russia had different names at different times.

Here I would like to draw your attention to the fact that until 1991, when the Ukrainian Republic was proclaimed as an independent sovereign state, Ukraine was not part of Russia. Let me remind you that in December 1922 the USSR was created on the basis of the entry into it of a number of equal republics, including the Ukrainian SSR and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). This was a voluntary unification of equal republics with the right to voluntarily secede from the USSR. In 1991, Ukraine took advantage of this right. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that Ukraine during the USSR period was part of Russia.
