True, but it really depends how divergent Ukraine is, if it isn't very divergent from cossack formed ukraine (i.e. just a watered down version of ruthenia) then the player loses nothing from going as ruthenia, of course the matter arises if Ukraine is different from cossack formed ruthenia, but thats a matter for another thread, however as per russia in vanilla an option b should be given regardless of whether it's a stupid idea to choose b or not
