DISINFO: Ukraine was created by Russia, it is historically fair that it becomes Russian again
SUMMARY
Modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia or more precisely with Bolshevik and Communist Russia. This process began almost immediately after the 1917 revolution and Lenin and its companions did in such a coarse way towards Russia itself. By way of separation, from secession by tearing up part of the own territories which were historically Russian. Millions of people who lived there of course were not consulted in no way.
The reintegration of the provinces of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk is therefore historically perfectly justified.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying Ukrainian statehood and revising history.
The history of Ukraine dates back to the era of the Kyivan Rus’ in the 9th-13th centuries. A fully independent Ukraine only emerged in the 20th century, after long periods of successive domination by Poland-Lithuania, Russia, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
In the aftermath of World War I and the disintegration of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires two states were created: the Ukrainian People's Republic (UNR) and the West Ukrainian People's Republic. They merged into a unified state - the Ukrainian People's Republic - on 22 January 1919. Under Lenin's leadership at the beginning of the 20th century, Ukraine was occupied by the Bolsheviks and for decades was under communist control.
When the Soviet Union began to unravel in 1990–91, the legislature of the Ukrainian SSR declared sovereignty (July 16, 1990) and then outright independence (August 24, 1991). With the dissolution of the USSR in December 1991, Ukraine gained full independence which was also recognised by Russia under late president Yeltsin.
