Keeping The Ukraine together at the risk of nuclear war is madness. Why was it called The Ukraine? Because Ukraine means borderland in Polish, Ukrainian and Russian.
The Ukraine's borders have shifted like sandbars over the centuries. The 1991 borders are the result of an historical accident with the collapse of the USSR.
Its borders are just as artificial and unsustainable as the borders of Yugoslavia, created in 1918, 4 years before Vladimir Lenin transferred the Russian Donbass to the Ukraine SSR, inside of the USSR.
This never mattered until 1991, and now we are risking Nuclear World War 3 over these insane bogus borders.
Post a map showing ethnic Ukranians by area. The areas Lenin added to the Ukraninian SSR after conquering the independent Ukraine were most ethnic Ukranian. The area added between 1654 and 1795 (after the
third partition of Poland-Lithuania) wasn't given to Ukraine. It was stolen by Russia for Russia.
You are posting the equivalent of Nazi propoganda from 1939 calling Czechoslovakia and Poland illegitimate. Stop being a communist tool
