5. Actually many Ukrainians have

a valid argument for the Krasnodar region all the way to the Caucus Mountains, excluding the Chechen area. In 1792, Catherine the Great of Russia granted Ukrainian Cossacks, in her "1792 Charter of Grant" the rights to Kuban lands for eternity (the area is known by many as "Kuban" due to the Kuban river running through it). The Cossacks founded the administrative center of Yekaterinodar (literally "Catherine's gift" ) in 1794 (now Krasnodar, Russia). The Kuban region was one of the regions that suffered greatly during the Holodomor. Russia's way of ethnically cleansing the area of Ukrainians.

Putin's palace is in this region. On Edit: If these lands were Ukrainian, Ukraine and Georgia would share a border.
