You play with words. "Ukraininian" is citizenship as well as ethnicity. There are many Ukraininan citizens who are not Ukrainians by ethnicity, they are Russians, Jews or Poles.Their ancestors lived in Ukraine before "Ukrainians" were invented as ethnicity.

Kievan Rus is the heart of Russia.

Western Ukraine is Polish land, and it was until 1939.

Calling Ukrainian citizens of other ethnic extraction "invaders" is shameful. It borders on Nazism.

Check the history books. It ain't pretty.

I did not say the other ethnicities were invaders, but judging how YOU are the one who considers them to be Russian and not Ukrainian isn’t that what you are doing?

Ukrainians" were invented as ethnicity.

Over 80% of people in Ukraine self identify as being ethnic Ukrainian.

And there is so much more wrong with your posts.

A few facts for you.

Russia has invaded the Ukraine. The Ukraine has not invaded Russia.

The Ukraine is a nation recognized by the other nations of the world. It’s sovereignty and land has been violated by Russia.

Russians have killed hundreds of millions of people throughout history including other Russians.

If the 20% of people in the Ukraine want to live in Russia, let them pack their bags and move to Russia.

This is a lie Russian nationalists spread. As a matter of fact, the Maidan was populated by Russians, Jews, ethnic Ukrainians and many other ethnicities. And even in the East and South, polls show that your supposed La Raza (Russian version( folks, do not support Separatism. Ukraine is a diverse country, not a ghetto of opposing racial tribes like Russia wants us to believe.
