The war in Ukraine began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea following Ukraine's Euromaidan protests and the ousting of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. This conflict escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022, driven by Russia's desire to assert influence over Ukraine and prevent its closer ties with Western nations. The war is rooted in complex historical, political, and cultural tensions, with issues of national sovereignty and territorial integrity at its core. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian crises and geopolitical ramifications.

Ukraine has never been a province. It was part of USSR, but Ukraine has been independent since 1991.
It was a complex of caves in the southern Ukraine where a number of Jews hid in World War 2 when the area was under Nazi occupation. Please see the link.
When Ukraine was invaded by the nazis they originally collaborated with them because they thought of them as liberators from the ussr but eventually they became oppressive and when the Russians invaded ukraine, the Ukrainians thought them as liberators , so to conclude it They helped the axis side as auxiliary police and ss units but there was also the Ukrainian insurgent army which hated the soviets , nazis, polish partisans, they just wanted to defend Ukraine and make it independent though most axis collaboration there was also resistance movement.
