>The nation of Russia and the Russian people originated in Kiev. Odessa was founded by Catherine the Great. Ukraine is Russia.<

The statements touch on complex historical origins: Kievan Rus' (centered in modern Kyiv) is a shared ancestor for Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, not solely Russia's origin. The Ohio State University Ukraine's port of Odesa was indeed established by Catherine the Great within the Russian Empire, but this reflects imperial expansion, not inherent Russian territory. The idea "Ukraine is Russia" is a political narrative, often Russian nationalist, dismissing Ukraine's distinct identity and history as a separate nation, despite historical ties and Russian-speaking populations.

This is where your going wrong...
