The ukes were given their independence when the Soviet Union broke up then they F-ed all it all up by provoking the Russians with artillery. so screw them.
That is entirely NOT true. In 2013 Russia staged fake elections in Crimea as an excuse to take it over. Then they staged fake protests in Donbass while positioning troops at the border and controlled the territory.
Russia is the evil empire and not ever to be trusted.
The corruption in Ukraine traces back to a half century of Russian occupation.
