Soviet government and people, who supported it were closely allied with Russian Soviet Republic. After the victory of the Soviet government in Ukraine Ukrainian People's Republic was officially rebranded in Ukrainian Soviet Republic and then Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic which became one of co-founders of Soviet Union.

Military forces of soviet government of Ukrainian Republic of that time is known as Red Cossacks Army, later integral part of Red Army of Soviet Union.

The Republic united the Ukrainian People's Republic of Soviets, the Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic and the Odessa Soviet Republic as part of the Russian SFSR. It was soon overrun, however, by forces of the Central Powers and the Ukrainian People's Republic.
