Ancient Ukrainian lands and Ukraine-controlled area in 2023/2024

[Russki]

The lands that were continuously inhabited by Slavic farmers who became ancestors of Ukrainians for more than 1000 years are also the ones that Ukraine is currently controlling.

In the area where this continuity doesn't exist, Ukraine is no longer controlling.

It could be thought of making a thread (or re-naming this) as for geographical coincidences. I think of the things like the maximum Slavic expansion and the Iron curtain. Or proto Germanics and Protestantism. Or proto Germanics and remaining not soundshifted German speaking area (Low German).

I would say that Ukrainians are Russian people who formed separated identity due to several centuries of Polish rule.
