You miss the point - for all practical purposes Ukrainian and Russian SLAVS are genetically the same. So much so that scientists cannot distinguish between the two. Karamzin - a very Russian name, eh? ;)
My point in this whole debate is to point out the ridiculousness of reaching back centuries to fight today's "battles." Ukraine is now an independent country and should take pride in that. When they start blaming others for their "woes," especially when they reach back centuries, or to Soviet times when they were complicit in said "woes" it can be perceived as weak.
For a so-called American, such as "spanalot" to further the ideology of UNA/UNSO and to refuse to condemn the leader of that group for calling on Ukrainian soldiers to revolt and kill Americans is disgusting and treasonous. Surely you, as a Ukrainian national, would feel the same if a fellow Ukrainian was supporting an American hate group calling for the deaths of Ukrainians?
Sure they're similar to each other- Ukrainian gave birth to the Russian.
