It is sad that you don’t see the difference.
You must be yet another foreigner here rooting for the globalist regime.
A lot of things are Russian. Icons, things I bought while there, a scarf I have, and much of Ukraine was very Russian. Not ethnic Russian, but in the sense of language and culture.
He is absolutely correct.
In Ukraine, in the 90s for instance, Russian was widely spoken and books, tv etc in the Russian language were easily found. Russian crosses and icons could be ordered from Ukrainian churches online.
That all changed after we went in and destroyed the bond.
Taught them to hate Russia.
“It is sad that you don’t see the difference.”
Oh, but I do. He didn’t say Russians; he didn’t say ethnic Russians (i.e., he said nothing about people): He said Russian (i.e., pertaining to Russia) when referring to Ukraine (or parts of it).
“You must be yet another foreigner here rooting for the globalist regime.”
Well, I’m an American so I’m likely a foreigner to you.
“A lot of things are Russian. Icons, things I bought while there, a scarf I have, and much of Ukraine was very Russian. Not ethnic Russian, but in the sense of language and culture.”
So what? A lot of things are American; but that does not make the countries where there are American products, American.
“He is absolutely correct.”
Not the way he wrote it.
“In Ukraine, in the 90s for instance, Russian was widely spoken and books, tv etc in the Russian language were easily found. Russian crosses and icons could be ordered from Ukrainian churches online.”
So what? Spanish is spoken here in the US; that does not make the US Spain, or Spanish; or Mexico, or Mexican; etc.
“That all changed after we went in and destroyed the bond.
Taught them to hate Russia.”
Oh, BS. Ukrainians have had a strong dislike of Russia since at least the 1930s, and the Holodomor.
