For too long, Ukraine’s history has been altered and misrepresented by the Russian propaganda machine. In truth, for nearly a millennium, Ukraine has played a pivotal rolein the geopolitics of Eastern Europe and beyond. It is the cradle of Eastern European civilization, a direct descendant of Kyivan Rus, and historically, the ongoing object ofexpansive policies by neighboring countries.
