The history of the states of Ukraine and Russia has been closely intertwined since the times of the Cossacks, and in every period of history this continues. This is what happened in 1917, when Russia attacked Ukraine, just at the time when Ukraine was forming its statehood. And it succeeded for several years. But thanks to internal and external factors, Russia was still able to defeat Ukraine in 1921, while drawing the country into the USSR for many years.
