I wouldn't worry. It's popular in all of eastern europe and wikipedia even mentions the ukrainian origin of the most popular variant:

In English, the word "borscht" is most often associated with the soup's variant of Ukrainian origin, made with red beetroots as one of the main ingredients, which give the dish its distinctive red color.

Don't let a single whacko dictator ruin an otherwise nice dish.
