That’s somewhere between false and an outright lie.
I’ve lived in Ukraine (and russia) and run a company, run a think tank on law, worked in intelligence, was in Maydan, and spent time with Praavy Sektor and Azov volunteers. The present ukrainian population has developed a deep hatred of everything Russian that will cement that distain for centuries. While it is true that the Don river basin where the soviets relocated serfs to work in the coal mines and the military industrial complex (Ukraine built the equipment), the rest of the people treated them like americans treat blacks, and only saw russia as a cousin as much as they see poland as a cousin. The difference is they wanted to follow poland into economic prosperity by escaping kremlin influence (corruption), and the gradual hollowing out of their military and institutions until Russia could conquer them again.

So try not to be a useful idiot please.
