We have gone over this before. The Ukrainian nation, although occupied by others, goes back centuries, just as the Irish nation existed for centuries before independence. They declared independence in 1917 with substantially the same borders as today, excepting Crimea, and this was recognized by Russia. Specifically, the premise that the pink area was added to Ukraine in 1922 by the Soviet Union is false. This area has a Ukrainian majority and has been recognized as Ukrainian by Russia/the Soviet Union since 1917; it was not taken by Lenin from Russia. The only point that I would concede is Crimea in 1954.

Perhaps the troll thinks a line or two is a millimeter off. The map’s story is correct.
