Ukraine had identity even as a member of the USSR. That's why they were the Ukrainkan Soviet Socialist Republic and not the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Russian leadership is calling for the end of Ukrainian nationalism as an element of Ukrainian identity. Pick up a Russian language dictionary, maybe?
Ukraine was literally created out of whole cloth by USSR. Learn some history so you don't make a clown of yourself in public.
And it was created because Ukrainian nationalists were acting up.
Ukraine was created because nationalists of a state that didn't exist were acting up. Yup, that totally makes sense.
