Is “Red Empire” your made up term for the Soviet Union, that was not formed until 1922?
The Bolsheviks had an empire conquered by the Red Army.

Soviet Ukraine and Soviet Russia were founding members of the USSR.
Ukraine was not a satellite like Poland or Czechoslovakia that was gobbled up by the USSR after WW2.
Ukraine, like Russia, are the original commie bastards and are notoriously the most corrupt people on the continent. Leonid Brezhnev was Ukrainian, as was Leon Trotsky.
They are unworthy of my sympathy, tax dollars, or NATO support.
I am indifferent if these two former Soviet states want to fight each other, and I don’t need to cheer for either.

Ukraine was gobbled up in 1919 and 1920.
Trostky was never a Ukranian.
The country with the highest support for the Bolsheviks was Latvia and they were invaded and annexed in 1939. And if Russia took Ukranian, Putin would be looking at the Baltic Republics.
