We can talk about other regions. So, Donbas is Russian.
Kiev is of course Russian, because Holy Mother Rus is Kievan
and not Moscowan (Russia was baptized in Kiev in 988).
And there is no separate Ukrainian nationality, but there is Little Russia.
This is the official narrative of the Kremlin.
Since the Pereiaslav Agreement in the 17th century, Ukraine
has belonged to the Russian sphere of influence, and it is
the Kremlin's ambition to restore this state of possession back.
In this way, we will come to the conclusion that even the DDR
with the pro-Russian AfD winning in its territories is also Russian,
because the Tsar has a sentiment for Dresden, where he spent his youth.
Let me simplify this for clarity—it seems there’s a communication barrier. Wojtek, stay on topic. The original point was your belief that Russia would take all of Ukraine, which you admitted wasn’t their intention. You then compared this operation’s speed to Crimea, and I explained the two situations are incomparable. In 2014, 60% of Crimeans identified as Russian, making the process smoother.
Why are you dragging in irrelevant history like Tatars, Rus, or Dresden? What’s next—Lviv being under Polish control or dinosaurs roaming here? Stick to the original discussion instead of deflecting when you run out of arguments.
