One small remark - there was no such thing as "Ukraine" nor 1000 years before Khazaria, nor diring Khazaria nor long after Khazaria. However there always was some outskirts of Rus/Russia everywhere on its borders. Word "outskirts" in ancient Russian written as "oukraina" ("ѹкраина" where "ѹ" is single letter of ancient russian alphabet). So, there was multiple ukraines in Russia, and none was something more than just outskirts. LARPers that find mentions of word "ѹкраина" in ancient Russian texts and pose them as a proof of existing of their "Ukraine" state are just lying directly to your face. As a kind of state Ukaine was first established by Lenin in 1922 as part of future USSR and it was assembled from Malorossia and Poland regions of Russian Empire.
