Example: There is no Ukraine because of the divisions among the people? Well there must not be a United States by the same reasoning. There is no United Kingdom, or Canada, and most definitely no Russia.

Ukrainians have identified themselves for well over a thousand years. Hell, the Russians were nothing but unafilated tribes back then. The Ukrainian trident coat of arms is based on one used by Vladimir the Great who ruled from Kiev 980 – 1015 CE.
