Show transcript
Russia's borders have changed over time. Russia lost territory during World War I, and instability led to the formation of the Soviet Union. After World War II, the Soviet Union expanded in Eastern Europe. The USSR collapsed in 1991, creating independent republics such as Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an attempt to redraw their western border.
