Ukraine's history with Russia
Ukraine has had a history with Russia that has been marked by invasion and annexation. Whenever Ukraine would start to become more powerful, Russia would invade them. This happened in 1921, when Joseph Stalin invaded Ukraine and took control of the newly formed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The USSR was essentially what we know as Russia today, so they were able to take control of all of the Soviet-controlled countries.
The next time Ukraine had an issue with Russia was in 1954 when Nikita Khrushchev ordered for Ukrainian autonomy to be revoked. As a result, Ukraine's communist party was disbanded and many Ukrainians were deported from their homes because they weren't Russian citizens anymore. In 2014, Russia invaded again when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.
