And Ukraine isn't a sovereign democracy. Not since 2014.
You can repeat that nonsense as much as you want, it will not stop nonsense.
Why should Ukraine in 1992 have Kharkiv, Donbass, and Crimea? Simple. These regions voted to be part of independent Ukraine back in 1991.

Look at that.
Kharkiv Oblast: 86.33% of voters, 65% of total electorate
Luhansk Oblast: 83.86% of voters, 68% of total electorate
Donetsk Oblast: 83.90% of voters, 64% of total electorate
Zaporizhzhia Oblast: 90.66% of voters, 73% of total electorate
Kherson Oblast: 90.13% of voters, 75% of total electorate
Mykolayiv Oblast: 89.45% of voters, 75% of total electorate
Odessa Oblast: 85.38% of voters, 64% of total electorate
Crimean ASSR: 54.19% of voters, 37% of total electorate
Sevastopol City: 57.07% of voters, 36% of total electorate
So it's only for Crimea that one could argue there wasn't an overwhelming majority in favor of Ukrainian independence. Still a majority of votes, though.
And your Nostradamus predicted jack. He thought Ukraine would implode like Yugoslavia, but that never happened. Instead, Russia created militias and invaded. Without Russian ingerence, Ukraine would be perfectly peaceful.
