Ukraine and the Soviets in the Cold War?

Ukraine was now a theatre of the blossoming russian civil war. Lenin would not receive a satisfactory answer from the rada within forty eight hours, but germany promptly issued an invitation to the ukranian rada to send representatives to brestli tovsk for peace talks. It seemed increasingly obvious that the russia goal was to stall long enough for revolutions in germany, austria and elsewhere to render the peace talks at brestlitovsk totally moot on december 20. Only the will of the peoples can compel the imperialists of all countries to conclude a democratic peace.
