and its not like the Ukraine wasn't a willing and able partner in the Soviet Union back then either.

Lol, sure the Ukrainian nation starved itself and then purged its leadership voluntarily with no input from Moscow.

Ukraine was a founding member of the USSR and at least one of the original seven members of the first Politburo in 1917 was Ukrainian.

This notion that Ukraine wasn’t a willing participant in the Bolshivik Revolution and subsequent creation/administration of the Soviet Union is absurd...and the fact it suffered from famine as a result of misguided Soviet policies does not absolve Ukraine of its role as a willing collaborator in the creation of the Communist regime responsible.
