Are Russia and Ukraine the same country?

Russia and Ukraine are not the same country.

Russia is mainly Russian and Ukraine is mainly Ukrainian. However, the two ethnic groups have the same root and origin, and they are all differentiated by Slavs.

Ukraine:

The Ukrainian nation belongs to the Central European type of the Europa race and is a branch of the Eastern Slavs. Ukrainians account for more than 70% of Ukraine's total population and are the main ethnic groups in Ukraine.

Russians:

Russians, also known as Russians, are the main ethnic groups in the Russian Federation and some eastern European countries. Russians in People's Republic of China (PRC) are descendants of Russian immigrants and belong to an ethnic group of Eastern Slavs. According to the statistics of the fifth national census in 2000, the total population of Russians in China is 15609.

In many works of Marx and Engels, the early history of Russia and Ukraine is written together. For example, Kiev is considered as the mother of Gullas. Later, with the invasion of Mongolia, several early Russian principalities were conquered.

Later, the Principality of Moscow became more and more powerful after leaving Mongolia, and Ukraine fell into the hands of Poland after many twists and turns.

Later, the Ukrainian state Khrushchevsky revolted and Ukraine left Poland, but Poland was a European power at that time, and Khrushchev turned to Russia for help. As a result, after more than ten years of war, Poland was defeated and Ukraine was merged into Russia.

However, as a border area, it still enjoys certain independence rights, which is somewhat similar to that of England and Scotland. In addition, it was far from the ruling center of Russia at that time, so it was not assimilated in the end, but now there are Ukrainians.
