Ukraine was stripped bare of farming produces by USSR. Holodomor happens. WW II happens. Germany invades Russia through Ukraine and massive contingents of Ukrainian combatants surrender to Germany. So many that Germany had to create entire batallions of them, and forced Stalin to create a document that treats soldiers who surrender as enemies to be executed on sight.
Ukranian nationalism is due to the strife caused by communism in their land. The most fertile land in Europe had a famine caused by communists, and the revenge feeling they had on Russia was propped by the USA and even jews as instruments to control this nationalistic sentiment. All factions of this kind there are controlled exactly like in the US 99% of them are honeypots.
