Ukraine's independence from Russia was not a single event but a process. Ukraine, previously part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Ukrainian SSR), declared its independence on August 24, 1991. This was solidified through a referendum held on December 1, 1991, where a vast majority voted in favor of independence. Russia, officially recognized Ukraine's independence on December 5, 1991, and established diplomatic relations on February 14
So Ukraine didn't break away illegally and dandolo2k is lying.
