Ukraine didn't exist for most of these years.
Edit: holy shit they meant for the incoming 100 years? This is even more hilarious.
What is that even supposed to mean? Plenty of nations have been oppressed and denied self determination, that doesn't mean those nations didn't exist. Basque doesn't exist as a country, does it mean one can't express solidarity with their struggle for the past 100 years?
I first thought it meant 100 year partnership as in 100 year relations between them until now, not for the future, hence I said that Ukraine as a country didn't exist for most of that time, it was Soviet Union.
Sorry for jumping the gun there comrade.
Although Ukraine did exist within the USSR, it was officially called Ukrainian SSR but everyone called it Ukraine, same as Russia was officially Russian SFSR but you wouldn't say Russia didn't exist.
I mean tecnically they were both part of one merged country and didn't exist as countries, same as Czechia and Slovakia didn't exist but Czechoslovakia did.
But I meant Ukraine as in current and WW2 form, Nazikraine if you will.
Czechia and Slovakia weren't separate entities the way Soviet republics were.
Bandera cult is horrific and Banderites get the wall, but calling the whole country Nazikraine is really shitty, especially considering all the death and destruction brought on Ukraine by Western meddling and coups and local compradors. Do better.
