This CNN clip made my day.
According to CNN, Kharkiv is already in Russia. @amanpour ONLY ON CNNhttps://t.co/z5J4wfR94s pic.twitter.com/RTzc4FApKC

I actually agree with that, but I don’t think CNN agrees with that.
Here’s the deal: Ukraine, or to be more precise, the Ukraine, means The Borderlands, and it was an administrative region of CCCP/USSR. Kharkiv was a part of the Russian Empire since the 15th century and the rest of the Ukraine has been a part of Russia since the early 18th century, i.e. for 300 years give or take.
Eastern Ukraine is ethnically and linguistically Russian, and since the Maidan coup from 2014, aka the State Department revolution, the new Ukrainian government has been waging a literal war of terror against the Eastern part of the Ukraine, with state-backed neo-Nazi terrorist groups being armed and trained directly by Israel and clandestinely by the United States and the EU.
Basically, Ukraine was never a nation state before 1991.
