Ukraine was "invented" by the Ukrainian nationalist who were collaborators of the Central Powers and Ukraine was initially a German satellite state in 1918
The Soviets also tried to do their own thing in parallel but only after that did the Soviets succeed and establish the Soviet republic in 1919
I still don't get why (pro-)Russians think this is a smart point. They're either trying to appeal to western anti-communist
>hey guys we hate Lenin top and Lenin created Ukraine, so you must be against Ukraine too, ignore the fact that removing Lenin statues was one of the reason pro-Russian in Ukraine got angry in the first place
and/or appeal to Germans, like when they say Poland started WW2 by being mean to Germany
