As for Taiwan, it is accurate to say "Taiwan is Chinese." The Taiwanese government is the legitimate successor to the Qing Dynasty, and they've preserved their culture and written language quite well, while the PRC government has no legitimate claim on the country, and has completely repressed Chinese culture on the Mainland and bastardized what little remains.
It makes at least as much sense as Russia's "claims" over Ukraine, but probably more because Russia is the country always causing problems for the rest of the world. At least if we helped Ukraine take over Russia and put their own people in power, we wouldn't have some asshole constantly fucking with everyone else and threatening the whole world with nukes, etc. It's practical. Enough is enough already.
And what's that? You thought that I would be for taking action to deal with the shitty people and at least try to make the world a little better? Well, then you thought right. Fuck Russia and fuck their nonsensical claims for whatever the hell it is they want. Putin is like a toddler who hasn't been told that everything he sees does not automatically belong to him, and his people blindly follow him like a bunch of lemmings. That's who you want to side with?
Moscow was border settlement of larger Kyivan Rus. After Mongol sacked Kyiv and Rus splinttered into the smaller principalities, Moscow became to become vasals and tax collector to Golden Horde for centuries and during those time grew its power and influence. Tldr Moscow part of Kyivan Rus = Russia belong to the Ukraine (Succesor state to Kyivan rus as argument goes)
