In this article, I summarize the justification for Ukrainian state sovereignty, in spite of Russia’s claim of the non-existence of such sovereignty. The Russians invaded Ukraine claiming their right to justify their interests. The occupation of Crimea by Russian forces and their declaration of its annexation to Russia was an act of aggression disapproved of by the United Nations (2014). I also outline the nature of the limited war between Ukraine and Russia that is managed by ethnic Russians living in the Donbas region and Russian emissaries.

乌克兰的独立斗争

在本文中，我总结了乌克兰国家主权的正当理由，尽管俄罗斯声称不存在这种主权。俄罗斯人入侵乌克兰，声称他们有权证明自己的利益。俄罗斯军队占领克里米亚并宣布吞并俄罗斯是联合国不赞成的侵略行为（2014 年）。我还概述了乌克兰和俄罗斯之间由居住在顿巴斯地区的俄罗斯族人和俄罗斯特使管理的有限战争的性质。
