Russia Gave Birth to Ukraine
and Expanded It
Russia established Ukraine as a
Soviet republic in 1922.
Initially, the territory of
Ukraine was small. It didn't
include neither Crimea, nor
Donbass, nor Lugansk, nor
Odessa, nor Kharkiv, nor,
Kherson, nor Lviv... All these
territories were granted by
Russia to Ukraine later.

Crimea
Crimea became part of Russia in
the 18th century.
Such countries as
USA,
Germany, Belgium, Finland,
Czech, Slovakia, Croatia,
Romania, Slovenia, Ukraine...
didn't exist at that time, yet
these "teenagers of transitional
age" claim that Crimea belongs
to Ukraine. Psychologists say
that such categoricalness in
adolescents is quite
understandable
