Ukraine was part of Russia before the Soviets took over. Keeping the Soviet political designations for Russia when convenient is the basis for Joe Biden's defense of Ukraine as "a sovereign nation". Russians were never going to accept that. They were just to militarily weak to fight to keep Ukraine in Russia after the end of the Cold War v 1.0. Some political renegotiation should have been opened to avoid war and just get the world moving along peacefully.
After the communists took control they restructure Russia in convenient administrative units. Jews were given an oblast in Siberia. Ukraine was not an independent nation before the Soviet Union took over Russia. Ukraine was part of Russia. It is a fiction to view Ukraine as an independent nation that was taken over by the Soviets and should have had their freedom restored like nations of Eastern Europe taken from Nazi occupation by Soviet red army liberators. About 6 million ethnic Russians died fighting against fascist Germany in W.W. II.
Joe Biden is having a tough time with any sort of new things it seems.
