    It is typical for both countries – we come from the same origin.

    Nobody knows. Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, and Romanians all claim it to be part of their national authentic cuisine.

    Ukrainian from origin. Some say it's slavic, to be more safe :))) But it's an essential part of Russian Cuisine, and of other countries from the former Soviet Union. A lot of dishes in Russian Cuisine originated from neighbouring countries, including the popular dish "Pelmeni". But still the dish is "Russian" and not Chinese. 🙂 Do you understand?

    Other Slavic Countries have their own variation of the Borscht. So you decide. :)))

    As you can see, both nations are passionately claiming ownership, and both are right. The recipes are a bit different, though.
