      You have posted cringe. Denouncing Ukraine’s fascist government is a good thing; to push Russian ultranationalist rhetoric regarding the nation’s origins is not.

        Hmm, I’m not sure I follow. Isn’t this just an observation of how Ukraines modern territory was established? I definitely see how Russian nationalists could support their rhetoric with it, but I’m not sure I see how that is inherent in the map itself.

          Ukrainian national identity evolved alongside that of Russia over a period of many years, while the image you’ve posted heavily implies that the modern Ukrainian nation-state only exists because of Russia, which is simply false.
