You are absolutely correct here. However who were the modern Ukrainian citizens before the Ukraine became independent? Ok, I have no question to the ones that younger than 20, but what about the older ones? They became the Ukrainian citizens not by their will. The were made Ukrainians by Yeltsin, Kravchuk and Shushkevich forcefully. This made us citizens of different countries but we are still the same nation needed.
