The joke is factually incorrect. The Soviets used pens because graphite and pencil shavings are problematic for delicate equipment in microgravity.
Also the Soviet government has little to no relation to the capitalist oligarchy that currently runs Russia so the comment about Ukraine is irrelevant.
Other factually incorrect jokes.... An electron walks into a bar...a Mexican, an American, a Frenchman... Why did the chicken cross the road?.... Why can't tyrannosaurs scratch it's back?...
