You have to be joking. Ukraine has existed as a "country" only for a few decades.
The very name means borderland. Pull up a map from 1930 show me the country Ukraine? How about 1830? How about 1730 (then a big part was still under the Turks). How about 1630?
America has existed as a country longer than Odessa has been a city.
- type0 5y ago> Ukraine has existed as a "country" only for a few decades. So what, Canada only existed as a "country" for a few decades, maybe US military should bomb their cities and take it then.
- Synaesthesia 5y agoThe USA certainly tried to, but were rebuffed by the superpower of the time, Britain. Anyway, back on topic, I don't think the corruption in Ukraine can be denied. Its every hit as bad as in Russia, and it could also be a wealthy country. It's slightly more democratic than Russia, but only slightly.
- nickpp 5y agoHow many distinct leaders in the last 20 years did Ukraine have and how many Russia? It’s not just "slightly" more democratic.
- Synaesthesia 5y agoHow many journalists have been killed? It's actually comparable, as is the level if oligarch dominance of the media and many aspects of life.
