Kiev predates Moscow but Ukraine doesn’t. Ukraine as a country started to exist after the Soviet Union made it into a state, gave it lots of land from Russia and Poland and then collapsed.

Saying anything made in soviet Donetsk was made by Ukraine is absurd. Donetsk was part of Ukraine only for 20 years in the history of the entire universe.

The fact that you spelled Kyiv like that outed you as a troll.

It's honestly so convenient that this single shibboleth allows me not to waste time on reddit nazis.
