It is not really practical to measure the distance from Ukraine to Russia in light minutes because they are all fat.
Russia is on the East of Ukraine.
Ukraine is part of Mars
Ukraine was in Russian Empire and in Soviet Union WITH Russia, but never IN Russia.
Ukraine was in USSR not in Russia!!! Russia was not independet until the break-up of USSR! that is when all the 15 republics became independent states, including UKRAINE and RUSSIA!
The Ukraine.
This is a silly question. Ukraine!
Finland-Russia-Ukraine
Ukraine is not going to join Russia. It is an independent country.
Crimea is a part of Ukraine that is not found in Russia. Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014, but it is still internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine is a neighbor to Russia, and Russia is a much larger and more powerful country than Ukraine. Historically Russia has dominated Ukraine. In order for Ukraine to maintain its independence, it wants to ally itself with the Western World. If Ukraine is allied with the West, it will not have to worry about Russia attempting to dominate its foreign policy because it will have the protection of NATO.
The sunflower. Why? Because Russia said so and Ukraine always does what Russia says.
