>>18158272Their president, named Volodymir Selenzky, used to be a TV clown
They are at war
Ukrainian is more different to russian language than I thought
They dislike russians and despise the russian government
It's Kyiv not Kiev
There are two regions in the far east of Ukraine nammed Luhansk and Donetsk filled with separatists
These separatists are mostly, if not all, ethnic russians
Russia is a big bully to them
They are a major player in global grain production
They are in good terms with the "western" nations and plan to join both NATO and the EU
They used to build planes and tanks for the soviet army, among them a huge plane that was destroyed recently
I could be wrong but they are the first nation to use grenade-dropping drones or are at least pioneers
Some of their citizens can be edgy chuds, (use of nazi and neonazi symbolism specifically), I think it's more of a russophobic thing than actual racist degeneracy, as far as I know
There are several mercenaries and foreign legionnaires fighting for them, a "reward" if you fight long enough for their cause and survive is getting the Ukrainian citizenship (heard from a mexican mercenary)
Finally, their flag now makes sense to me, I think it's one of the best flags out there because it has deep meaning despite having a very simple design
