Candace Owens is jaw-droppingly stupid and a tool of disinformation.

"Ukraine wasn't even a thing until 1989."

"There is no difference ethnically between Ukrainians and Russians."

I'm speechless.

9. She's not that far off

Ukraine got it's independence 8/24/1991.

While right-bank Ukraine belonged to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth until late 1793, left-bank Ukraine had been incorporated into Tsardom of Russia in 1667 (under the Treaty of Andrusovo).

17 % of Ukrainians are Russian
The vast majority of people in Ukraine speak Ukrainian, which is written with a form of the Cyrillic alphabet. The language—belonging with Russian and Belarusian to the East Slavic branch of the Slavic language family—is closely related to Russian but also has distinct similarities to the Polish language.

[Tommy Carcetti]

12. No, she's terribly far off.

Ukraine has existed as a nation—and as such as a “thing”—for centuries.

And since when does a 17 percent ethnic minority qualify as two countries being indistinguishable?

Seriously, WTF?

11. Tell me you don't know how international relations work...

Without telling me you don't know how international relations work.

I hope someone is taking notes on who these opportunist are for the inevitable son-of-Ken Burns documentary a hundred years from now. If there is anyone around to watch it.
