Georgia
It has bordered USSR back in 20th century as Czehoslovakia and now it borders Ukraine as an independent state (now Slovakia).
Ukraine is the country that has been encouraged by the US to become energy-independent from Russia. Russia is widely believed to be leveraging its position as the main energy supplier to influence Ukrainian politics. Georgia is in the same boat, and is the correct K12 answer!
Ukraine and Russia
USSR stood for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. There were 14 countries in the USSR. Russia was only one of them, but by far the largest and most influential. The countries returned to their original names, which they had before the USSR was formed. Russia is now The Russian Federation, since it is made up of more than just Russia. Ukraine is now Ukraine, etc. Each of the countries had a name similar to this: The Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Now is is simply Ukraine. Or the Republic of Ukraine.
Ukraine is not going to join Russia. It is an independent country.
Ukraine was in USSR not in Russia!!! Russia was not independet until the break-up of USSR! that is when all the 15 republics became independent states, including UKRAINE and RUSSIA!
Ukraine gained complete independence from Russia in January 1918.
Ukraine
== == Ukraine was not independent during WW2, therefore it did not have a leader. It was a part of Russia
The Ukraine was called the breadbasket of the Russian Empire, and of the Soviet Union. Now that it is independent, Ukraine would be called the breadbasket of the region surrounding Russia.
no. it's an independent country. it used to be in the USSR together with Russia and other countries
Georgia

Ukraine is part of Mars
Kiev, which is more correctly called Kyiv, is the capital of Ukraine, formerly part of the USSR, and now an independent country west of Russia.
