The Soviets didn't invade Ukraine. The Ukrainian SSR was fighting alongside the Soviets against the Nazis. As much as I hate the UPA and modern Ukraine, I'll never undermine or discredit the sacrifice made by Ukrainians in saving the world from Fascism.

Very good point. I edited my original comment to put scare quotes around "invaded"

It pisses me off to no end when, for example, westerners will refer to heros like Lyudmila Pavlichenko as "Russian" when like.. she was born and raised in fucking Kyiv. She was a Soviet Ukranian, and many of the Nazis she killed were also Ukranians.
