@безназви173 Kuban never belonged to Ukraine, only in fantazies of Ukrainian nationalists. In 1917, when Ukraine proclaimed independence, Ukraine proclaimed Crimea, Kuban and Donbass as its own territory without any referendum and without asking people in this regions, and people were against - Crimean parlament refused to be part of Ukraine in the same day in which Ukraine proclaimed independence, in the Kuban Russian cossaks took power, and in the Donbass parlament refused to be part of Ukraine, and Communists took power proclaiming independence of Donest-Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic. When Ukraine proclaimed indepdendence in 1917, Ukraine ilegally annexed Russian territories without any referendum in their fantasy, Ukraine claimed Kuban, Crimea and Donbass as its territory, but Kuban, Crimea and Donbass refused to be part of Ukraine and in fact, in 1917 Ukraine controlled less territory than at now. Also, Western Ukraine proclaimed indepdendence from Ukraine in 1917, and later it was conquerred by Polish imperialists, who wanted to restore Polish Empire and wanted to conquer Ukrainian and Russian lands. But in 1939 Soviet army liberated Ukrainian territories from Polish occupation

Because Ukrainians are artificial nation that was part of Russia originally, but was occupied by Lithuania and Poland and Ukrainians and Belorussians have occured as nation as a result of Polish occupation of Rus' lands. And later Soviets gave a lot of original Russian territories to Ukraine, such as Russian Crimea and Russian Donbass, and parts of Hungary, Romania and Poland. In fact, the true Ukrainian territory of Ukraine is one third of modern Ukrainian territory - everything else is gifts from Russia to Ukraine. And this must be returned to Russia.

@Nethan2000 Kievan Rus never named itself as "KIEVAN", the Soviet historians made this myph. This state was named just "Rus'", without word "Kievan", and first capital of this state was Novgorod, that located in Russia. Kiev became capital of Rus after Novgorod prince have conqueered Kiev and betrayed Novgorod nobility, moving capital from Novgorod to Kiev. Ukrainians didn't existed at that time. Later Mongols came and western parts of Rus' were conquerred by Lithuania, and Lithuania was swallowed by Poland, and Ukrainians occured from Polish occupation of Russian territories. This is abomination and artificial nation. 2/3 of modern Ukrainian territories are gifts from Russia to Ukraine, such as Russian Crimea that was given to Ukraine from Russia in 1954, and Russian Donbass that was given from Russia to Ukraine in 1917, and parts of Romania, Poland and Hungary. And this artificial "Ukrainian nation" didn't have its own culture, it was artificially made by propaganda in modern history.

@Felix-ic1fc you are wrong. There was an all-Union referendum and 78% of voters have voted to save Soviet Union. Soviet Union was dissovolved after Stalinist military coup attempt under leadership of KGB head Vladimir Kruchkov. KGB officers have arrested Michail Gorbachev in Crimea, as a result he was out of politics for forever, but democratic forces in Russia have won against this coup. Soviet Russia was ruled by anti-communist Boris Yeltsin, who made Russian republic autonomic from central Soviet government in 1990. Yeltsin crashed coup attempt, there was shooting, tanks and soldiers in Moscow, and Soviet Communist Party was banned on territory of USSR. Later anti-Soviet leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have signed the accords, according to which Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have left USSR together in one day against will of the people who voted by 78% to save USSR, and even much respected in the West Gorbachev wanted to save it, by reforming and liberalizing economy and forming confederation of all republics, but Gorbachev was arrested by unloyal KGB officers in Crimea during coup attempt and lost power to Vladimir Kruchkov, and Kruchkov lost power to Yeltsin. Crimea, Karabakh and other multi-national territories in USSR had status of autonomic republics. They were autonomic in government from their Soviet republics. And according to Sovet law there should have been a voting in Crimea for joining Russia or Ukraine, voting in Karabakh to join Armenia or Azerbaijan, voting in Abkhazia and South Ossetia to be independent from Georgia or not, because Abkhazians and Ossetians are different nation from Georgians and they want to be independent and don't want to be occupied by other country, and when there was collapse of USSR ongoing, in 1989 parlaments of Abkhazia and South Ossetia proclaimed themselves as an autonomic republics, so they wanted a voting in case of Georgia leaving USSR. There was no voting, and after Georgia have left USSR the war have started between Georgia, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia. And also there was a civil war in Georgia. The war resulted in Russian peacekeeping agreement with Georgian government that won the civil war, so Georgia officially allowed Russian peacekeepers to stay in Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 1993. But later there was a pro-Western coup in Georgia and pro-Western clown in power have decided that he can break the agreements and just invade this regions with help and support from NATO, and NATO would protect Georgia from significant Russian help and aid to Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Russia withdrew its forces from Georgia after Georgian proposal in 2007, and in 2008 Georgian army have invaded South Ossetia, and few Russian soldiers were killed as a result of shelling of the peacekeeping base where they were located according to document with Georgian signatures since 1993. Russian peacekeepers never attacked Georgians first. So, as an answer Russia conducted a peacekeeping operation in august 2008, saved independence of republics and put Western dogs on their place, as a result Georgian president Saacashwilli lost his power and found himself in prison, where he currently is located, and Geogia now have elite loyal to Russia to not provoke Russia. Russia don't need to capture and take territories to control it. We live in 21st century. Russian forces didn't annexed into Russia even inch of true Georgian territories, just returned Abkhazian and Ossetian lands to their owners. The same could be said about Ukraine - no need to capture its all. And the reason for war is the same as with Georgia. Ukraine wanted to invade Donbass, just like Georgia have invaded South Ossetia in 2008. Ukraine wanted NATO guarantees of defense in order to force Russia to sit calmly while Ukrainian forces would attack and rise Ukrainian flag in Donetsk, Luhansk or even Crimea. If Russia hadn't started this war first - Ukraine wanted to start it and attack Russian separatists, so Russia had no other choise, if fight is inevitable strike first. Russia have tried to negotiate with NATO, negotiations have failed, so the cannons started to talk. Russian plan was to force Ukraine to negotiations by using military. And there were negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istambul, Turkey, in march 2022. Russia didn't wanted any additional territories of Ukraine, just neutral status and Ukrainian non-agression towards Donetsk and Luhansk PRs. Russia was ready to retreat to february 23rd line. Ukraine proposed a signal from Russia to show that Russia is ready to respect the peace accords, so Russia withdrew its forces from northern Ukraine and Kiev. And it was mistake, Ukraine have left negotiations after Western politicians have promised weapons aid and 1991 borders to Ukraine. But it was a lie - quick Ukrainian victory is not what West wants. West wants long slow attrition of Russia. So, Western help to Ukraine is insufficient for Ukrainian victory, they simply use Ukrainians as cannon fodder, and everything about retaking Crimea from Western politicians was a lie, with insufficient help Ukraine was unable to achieve it and people are dying for third year for no reason, while in march 2022 Russia was ready to give all territory back and retreat to february 23rd 2022 line just fot neutral status and non-agression towards Russian separatists. But Ukraine have forced Russia to change plans and annex multi-national partially Russian regions with Russian military presence after 7 months of war.

@безназви173 you are talking nonesence, there are little amount of material about all events in ancient Rus'. Novgorod was a capital before Kiev, Ukrainians didn't existed as a nation untill 17th century, while Russian nation appeared already in 16th century with proclaimation of Russia in 1547. Crimean tatars were puppet of Ottoman Empire, who were concucting raids into Rus' territories, and they didn't had connections with non-existant Ukrainians. Since the Russo-Turkish war Crimea belonged to Russia with MAJOTITY of population being RUSSIANS. And Crimea, as a Russian territory with Russian population, was ilegally transfered into neighbouring state, so Russia liberated Russian people in 2014 and returned Russian territory into native harbor.
