The Holodomor also known as the Terror-Famine or the Great Famine, was a famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians.
It's debated whether they were targetted specifically, or whether they just got the shit end of the stick in a wider famine, but I don't think the west had quite the ambition to create this just to divide and conquer.
It's the same thing everywhere, with the West backing separatists in order to weaken countries outside its orbit - as indeed Russia itself did in Ukraine and Georgia.
He's right tho. There was no Ukrainian state before 1917.
And the West loves breaking up strong states so it can play smaller countries off against each other.
I know someone from western ukraine.
