1) According to the peace treaty concluded on September 10, 1721 in the Swedish city of Nishtadt (now part of Finland), Sweden (read the European Union - the legal successor) recognized the annexation of Livonia, Estonia, Ingermanland, part of Karelia and other territories to Russia. Russia pledged to pay Sweden a monetary compensation of 2 million Efimks (approximately 1.3 million rubles at that time) and return Finland. And she paid.

2) According to the peace treaty on the division of the Hetmanate, concluded in Moscow on April 26 (May 6), 1686 ("Eternal Peace"), the Rzeczpospolita (Poland considers itself the legal successor) recognized the Left-Bank Ukraine, Kiev, Zaporozhye, Smolensk and Chernigov for the Russian kingdom Seversk land with Chernigov and Starodub, taking into account the payment for them of 146 thousand rubles of compensation. Paid.

I will clarify again - Russia bought these territories for state, state (budget) money. It is not conquered. Purchased!
Fly in - hurry up, buy - don't skimp

In this regard, the question: why the sale of Alaska is considered a deal and does not have a reverse course, and the sale of the Baltic States and the Hetmanate (the state of Ukraine simply did not exist until December 1, 1991), with a broad gesture of Yeltsin, did not begin to remember (more about the murky Yeltsin times in article How did we screw it up …?)?
Independence - independence, we are not in a claim, but please return the money to the treasury! We are committed to filling the budget of our country. We will create a joint commission, calculate the conversion rate, agree in what currency to calculate, how much is 1 sq. km, multiply by the sovereign area (how much they could grab at the collapse of the Union) and please - we have the total amount, prepare your money….
Now, brothers, the time is such - you can “rise” well (in the sense of replenishing the budget from additional sources of income)!
Mustoooook!
Or maybe he could offer Sweden (Latvia and Estonia) and Poland (Kiev and the Left-Bank Ukraine) to buy back? I won't say for the Swedes (they have been living with tolerance for a long time, their instincts are not the same …), but the Poles, I think, will agree and then they will shake the soul out of the Ukrainians! And it will be a great show!
And also, you can announce an auction (for the sake of solidity - on one well-known British site), declare a security deposit, declare the secret of the deal, you look and there will be those who want to bargain - the places are elite, the richest, populated by taxpayers, there is no infrastructure, again.
Trump: I represent the Governors of 51, 52 and 53 states!
No, you can't - Trump may be tempted, before you have time to look back, states 51, 52, 53 and 54 will appear. Then the condition - only Europeans participate in the auction and without the right of resale!
Though…
I don’t presume to say, but maybe our "steering" is deliberately "stupid" and do not remember about the Dolzhok, for the time being, for the time being … They told us from the screen not so long ago: "… It's time to collect stones …". What if it’s not yet evening?
That's how it is, but the idea is painfully interesting - to send a link to the article to deputies Milonov and Zhirinovsky (although this one already has a wrong fuse - the age is still), let them move the ratsuha to the State Duma!
With all due respect.
If someone does not understand - this is a joke of course! Although in every joke, there is some joke …
