There’s a lot of Russians who live(d) in Ukraine

So every Russian-speaking Ukrainian is just a Russian? It seems it’s you who is denying Ukrainian identity.

What exactly constitutes a Ukrainian in your opinion? Is it just someone who hates Russia? If a Ukrainian speaks Russian as their native language and likes Russia do they cease to be Ukrainian?

And sometimes they treat Ukrainians as “brothers” in the sense that they’re denying their whole identity as Ukrainians.

So which is it? Do they hate Ukrainians or do they think they are one and the same?

And if they are denying Ukrainian identity, why does Ukrainian language have officially protected status in the new Russian regions, why is it offered to be taught in schools, unlike Russian language in Ukraine which is heavily suppressed? Again, who is trying to erase who’s identity?
