In what way? The RSFSR declared its state sovereignty on June 12, 1990 while Ukraine declared its independence on August 24, 1991.
Going back into history, the first capital of the Rus was Novgorod which is located in the borders of modern Russia and Ukraina means borderlands or outskirts.
Greetings, Ukronazi.
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, US, and UK were all parties to the Budapest Memorandum.
Belarus accused US of violating Article 3 of the Memorandum [Photo 1] by sanctioning Belarus, and the US responded to Belarusian complaints by stating that the Memorandum was not legally binding [Photo 2].
Whether you take America's argument that their sanctions was not to gain any advantage is not really relevant as again, they clearly state that it was not legally binding.
I am aware that regular troops of the Russian Armed Forces took part in the Battle of Illovaisk, you can find information about their presence here:

Why did Yanukovych run away? Was it perhaps because far-right and oligarchic elements within the Maidan movement shot at protestors and passed off these murders as crimes committed by the police with the intent to provoke a revolt and get Yanukovych overthrown? Which is proven here:

KIA among professionals are only over 17K, this is not the pre-war professional army being wiped out [Photo].
Furthermore, even Mobiks such as 85th Brigade have been shown to be able to conduct assaults akin to pre-2022 Russian military doctrine.

Hello Ukronazi.
The Budapest Memorandum was first violated by the United States as the US sanctioned Belarus which was explicity prohibited under the Memorandum.
Not that it matters, I consider all pre-2014 agreements to have become null and void in their entirety as the result of the Far-Right Maidan Coup.
The Ilovaisk "Green Corridor" agreement required Ukraine to leave their equipment, Ukrainian command however ordered the troops to take their equipment with them so the Russians and Separatists then slaughtered them.
In regards to the Minsk agreement, both sides violated the ceasefire. And Russia conducted the Special Military Operation because Russia received no words about Ukraine’s readiness to swiftly start the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
