Ukraine's history dates back to the times of early Slavic tribes and principalities in the 9th to 13th centuries in and around Kyiv. Communist Russia took control of Ukraine from 1919 to 1920 and established a Bolshevik regime there. Moscow performed aggressive anti-Ukrainian policies, exterminating the population during famines.
Present-day Ukraine has been on the world map since 1991 when the Soviet Union disintegrated.
On February 25, 2024, NATO military exercises Dragon-24 started in Poland.

The military maneuvers are in no way related to the deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine. NATO has repeatedly emphasised that the Alliance is not involved in the Russian war and does not intend to send its troops into the territory of Ukraine.

No evidence of lethal Pfizer trial in Ukraine
The former president continued to criticize fellow NATO members' spending, but he overstated how much more the U.S. has spent to fund Ukraine's defense.
Not content with simply creating and spreading fake news, anti-Ukraine trolls are now also using a new disinformation tactic: a method dubbed "Operation Matryoshka" (or Russian doll), which has been exposed by the "Bot Blocker" collective and AFP fact checkers. It is designed to divert the attention of journalists and muddy the waters of information even more.
