Keep in mind, boarders between the countries changed throughout history. Beets and cabbage began to grow in the place where Russia is now, but the people of Polish/Ukrainian origin began to make the food when no other crop was available to make soup.

I work with a couple women from Russia and Ukraine. They both claim borscht as their own national dish. And they both make AMAZING borscht, by the way.
I lived in Germany for several years and didn't see a lot of borscht in the German restaurants. What little I did try was only so-so compared to what Julia and Irina make.

It's a Ukrainian soup, originally cooked from beetroot, Russians have similar soup made from cabbage, the name is tshi.

It's origins are definately Russian, however you have to realize that most of the recipes here in America came from other counrties. We just Americanized them.

it is a russian based soup, but germany and ukrain have their own variations of it. many decades ago the borders were different so russian foods could be considered ukrainian and visa versa.

It's Eastern European. If you look at recipes that are typical of Russina, Poland, the Ukraine, etc, you'll see that there are tremendous similarities, right down to the names of the dishes.

acctually one of the first answerers was right. Borsch is acctually ukrainian kind of soup - in Russia it's almost the same and the correct name of it is Stchi.... but we don't call it like that - we call it Borsch like everybody else.
I can eat only my mom's borsch, and i like more soups then it.
good luck
