He does have a point, though it could be expressed calmly.
Russia and Ukraine are not parts of the same country anymore therefore airplane is Ukrainian, I still don't think that it is a big deal, however.

Was it made when the Ukraine was part of the USSR?

U think that USSR=Russia, OK, but it the same like tell that England=Ireland, USA=Canada, Australia=New Zealand etc. It not so simple as u think. But ok, i go away, bye.

Bum, the problem is that you were getting emotional about it, and it is difficult to understand for Americans, who have never been to your country. The Americans may also not have suffered from cutting gas supplies.

So I think you might want to stay here, all considered
