Ukraine is like the USA - a state made by migrants despite what they are larping to be. They even retained the name which literally means borderlands, as the terrirory is where borderlands of Poland and Russia were at different times. This is the land where peasants, rebels from both Poland and Russia would settle in the past and with time they created their own, separate identity, encouraged by different separate forces in the past. Even the Great Britain would meddle with the affairs there. Not to take anyway from today's Ukrainians, but the ancient Kiev history is shared only through the land, not the population of the area. Still, today Ukraine is like the USA, a new state born out of members of different states around.
