@DD well different situation. It was a solution to the war going on in your country. But even so, this solution doesn't seem to be a lasting one considering the behaviour of the Republic of Srpska.

@Muhamad Ihssan "Ukraine only became a thing in the last century". I advise you to read the actual history of the region, and then not the Russian version of it. Ukraine or in the early modern times known as Ruthenia, existed for centuries with the first Ukrainian/Ruthenian state there being the Cossack Hetmenate. Meaning Ukraine can actually trace its statehood back to around the same time that the Russian Tsardom was founded, which itself was a Moscovite state evolving from the Grand Principality of Moscovy. Eastern Slav land, yes, but that doesn't give Russia a claim on this land. I mean the Netherlands, half of Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg and part of Switzerland are Germanic, so it should actually all belong to Germany? Russia is not the Rus' but just a decendent from it who took the name, like how the Holy Roman Empire took the name of the Roman Empire. It was never core Russian land, it was core Rus' land. This is not the same. Ukrainian always considered themselves differently from the Moscovites, which in turn saw the Russian policy of Russification of the Ruthernian/Ukrainian lands (if they were Russians back then, it wouldn't have needed to be Russified and the Russians wouldn't have needed to ban the Ukrainian language). Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are all equally dependents of the Kyivan Rus' none of them have claims on the other. I would like saying Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Northern Italy, Catalonia and the low countries are all rightfully French as France is named after the Franks. Whilst I don't support the American actions in any way, your reasoning is as flawed as his and you do the same thing as he does but in your case for the Russians. I suppose Russia is rightfully Swedish then? After all the name Russia is directly taken from the Vikings/Varangians that came to what is now Eastern Europe, as they were called the Rus'. Considering the claim you make is purely based on the Rus' claim that the Russian Empire loved to throw around, it should actually all be Swedish.
