All you have to do is look at Russian Social Media to see that to them this isn’t “Russia taking Ukraine”, but rather “Russians Helping Russians!”.
They look like them, they speak like them, and until some 20 years ago, they WERE them. The Korsun massacre, Russians incinerated in Odessa, and Russians killed in Mariupol by ACTUAL NAZI’s cemented the images of another “Great Patriotic War” into the Russian mindset.
And they clearly blame Obama for it.
Not “America”, but OBAMA...

When the Germans invaded Russia in 1941 the Ukrainians welcomed them as liberators, at first. While the two peoples and their languages are largely similar there are subtle differences in certain spellings, pronunciations and dialects. Ukrainians have never considered themselves to be anything other than “Ukrainians''. And they have never refered to their country as ''The Ukraine'' but as "Ukraine''.
