Ukrainians have sometimes called their country "Little Russia" due to historical, cultural, and linguistic ties with Russia. Russia ruled Ukraine for four centuries, leading to a shared history and influence on Ukrainian identity. Additionally, Ukraine shares a border with Russia and has supported Soviet policies in the past, further strengthening the connection between the two countries. However, it is important to note that not all Ukrainians identify with the term "Little Russia" and many prefer to emphasize Ukraine's distinct culture, language, and national identity.
