Zakharova emphasized that "Russia does not want to drive a wedge between Ukraine and Poland, but into criminal rewriting of history."

“As for Ukraine-Russia, I would like to clarify the start and end dates of the existence of this Little Russian Hyperborea,” the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry wrote.

The diplomat suggested that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry “next time use the following names to denote this mythologism for convenience and capacity: Ukrus or Rusukra”.

Earlier, Bodnar accused Moscow of stealing the history of Ukraine-Rus.
