Евгения Едалина How Russian of you to blame the victim of an invasion. Which, if we stay true to facts and no propaganda, is in it's core about Ukraine wanting to choose it's own future, away from Russia, and Russia deciding that Ukraine doesn't have the right to do so.
Good thing is that the Ukrainians really don't feel themselves a fraternal people with the Russians so you actually do them a favour by doing so. As they consider it an insult to be called your brother, which is not that weird after all the stuff Russia has done since 2014.
Most of the Belarusian people don't support this war and so you calling them fraternal is just because they have a dictator like you, one that is your puppet. As Belarusians are actually historically and ethnically closer to the Ukrainians than the Russians. The all-Russian nation is a myth (you seem to agree with that actually) the peoples being similar but seperate.
About the Serbs, completely different sub group as they are southern slavs, with the only things that connects them to you being their imperial attitude, them being a wannabe Russia, their irreditism and historical revisionism. They too used pan slavic sentiment to create a state, in their case Yugoslavia, which like the USSR fell apart. They also managed to piss off most of the rest of the slavic world, in their case the southern slavs, whilst Russia managed to get all Western Slavs to dislike them as well as now even an Easter Slavic nation. The most hardline anti Russian states are your own slavic relatives, that must be extremely painful. But yeah we remember 1939, 1968 and 1980-1981.

Евгения Едалина about the ethnicity even if they would be genetically 100% the same and had the same language and traditions (which is not the case with Russians and Ukrainains) if the people consider themselves a separate nation, then they are. You can't enforce with aggression that another people belongs to you or is part of your nation. This would be like the stalker ex (which Russia behaves like) forcing his ex to stay with her by threatening to kill her/him.
Dutch and Germans are close, the Dutch used to call themselves Germans before our independence. But nowadays you wouldn't call them the same people. The Dutch considered themselves a seperate nation and eventually after time they arr so distinct that you can see a clear difference between Germans and Dutch people. The Flemish in Belgium speak Dutch and have many Dutch cultural traits, which causes some nationalists to call them part of the Dutch nation, but they consider themselves a seperate nation, so they are seperate it is this simple. We actually slowly see the emergence of a Belgian nation. Ukrainians are actually as different from the Russians as Dutch and German people are. They are now building their own state, and whilst I don't agree with all their policies including in regards to language, it is their right to form their society the way they want. If their society and nation wants to be closer to the west and take some distance from Russia, it is their right to do so. This war might actually be what forever cements the seperate Ukrainian nation and society. As often nations are born in the fires of war. This is also how my nation was born. So in the end, Russia, just as it is NATO's biggest recruiter with it's actions, might also be the single largest contributor to the separation of the Ukrainians as a similar people and be the reason of a more Western orientated Ukrainian nation.
