“The Ukrainians despise the Russians.
Period.”
You are an idiot
I’ve learned from past threads there are some here especially sensitive regarding Russia as they have roots, in one form or another, to the suffering of the Ukraine people in the past by the Soviet Union Leadership. So they tend to view anything regarding Russia through that lens.
I suspect it would be hard if not impossible to see Russia today as it is when you have attachments to the past Ukraine people and their history.
