There were no such people as Ukrainians back then. Check some simple history.

sure there were, first mention of "Ukraine" was in 1187 and it was about the land of Kyiv and Chernihiv principalities

now "the russian", which is an adjective, not a nationality, won't become a thing until the Kyivan Rus colonizers expand into the north and settle moscow

"russian" literally means "belonging to a person of Rus"

Show St. Petersburg

just like napoleon,

went to Moscow instead of capital St. Petersburg

*well the embassy staff are just educated in yankee indoctornation centers

they do not know **** from shampoo.

who were the Prussians,

nobody even mentions them anymore...

the earliest stories I read about Ukrainians is in Herodotus, 2500 years ago.

they were called Scythians.

The best quick read with pictures of Ukraine history in one article by David Stockman last week.

Inform. Understand.

From the link above:

"Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, extended it to all inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus' reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav the Wise (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Russkaya Pravda ("Rus' Justice"), shortly after his death."

Man, come on, read the article. There is no mention of Ukrainans there. The country was called Rus (still used among Russians sometimes). People were Russians. Ukrainans are Russians too. It is a well known historical fact.

Yeah but that is russia anyways. Stupid meme and the west is the hitlers

st petersburg, originally Swedish lands first known as Nyenskans, a fortress at the mouth of the Neva River, which was later called Ingermanland,

like everything a ruski does, later invaded by peter the cuck and turned into a turd that it is today

Yeah and back then German chronicles were calling Poles Vandals. Its the same people right there. Anyway King Boleslaw Chrobry conquered Kiev in 1018. Does it mean it was Poland at that time? And the funniest thing is a Russian medieval chronicle written by Nestor says clearly Moscow was established by people who came from Lachy and Lachy is just an old name of Poles still used in the East. Does it mean Moscow is really Polish native land? Yet, Russians seem to consider every piece of land they ever occupied their native land, which is just dumb.

Those Russian trees didn't grow at all for 200 years....

lol
next you'll tell me to listen to an hour long press conference by putler for a history lesson

Good god the embassy staff are ignorant.

Even if what they were trying to get across was accurate, its still idiotic.

These people are making 10x what I do a year to sling spitwads.

why would our embassy tweet something like this? are just internet trolls now

this is a serious life or death matter

women and children will be killed in this war

and we are antagonizing the situation?

what the actual hell

when the Scythians returned to their land, now known as Ukraine, they had to fight the offspring of their wives and their slaves, who got together during the Scythians long absence in Persia.

the location of the battle took place in an area near Taman Bay or Kerch.

its seems obvious that the russians are the descendants of the offspring of scythian women and their slaves.

WW3 is the First Meme War

Maybe, just maybe, those would have been known as Russians?

How can one website contain so much stupid?

This ^^^^

Russians didn't occupy Kiev. They built it, and it was their FIRST capital, which rulued all lands up north.

The map is in the wikipedia article above.

russian is an adjective meaning "of Rus'"
russian genetic make up is fino-ugric not slavic, while Moscovy was created during the Mongol domination of that part of the world

Ukrainians had many names during it's existence, just like any other ancient peoples of the world, but one thing is unchanged, they've always lived in the lands that they currently live in

Yes, East Slavic, Baltic and Finnic. And they were all Russians.

From the article:

"Kievan Rus' (Old East Slavic: Роусь, romanized: Rusĭ, or роусьска&#112​7; землѧ, romanized: rusĭskaę zemlę, "Rus' land") or Kyivan Rus',[2][3] was a loose federation of East Slavic, Baltic and Finnic peoples in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century,[4][5] under the reign of the Rurik dynasty, founded by the Varangian prince Rurik.[5] The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors,[6] with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it. The Rurik dynasty would continue to rule parts of Rus' until the 16th century with the Tsardom of Russia.[7] At its greatest extent, in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east,[8][9] uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.[4]"

Putin is the Man of Lawlessness.

how could the russians build something 1000 miles south if they were a bunch of fino-ugric tribes sustaining on roots and speaking bubonics until the Mongols civilized them and made them the bitches of the empire

Yeah... A tweet is going to push them over the edge.

Get a fucking grip.

Actual Russia which is in fact should be called Rossiya was never viewed as Rus at its time. Before becoming Ulus Juchi in time the Golden Horde and later Moscovia it was bearing the name Zalessiye, i.e. behind the forest lands even though the first cities in this Zalessiye were founded by Kyivan princes. The name Muscovit Rus was invented just in 19th century by imperial historiographers to justify the heritage of Rus.
