[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s remember something that Ukrainians would like to forget and get indignant when reminded: Russians and Ukrainians are very close both in genetics and in their Soviet past. The differences are negligible despite what Ukrainians would like to believe. 
I don’t think one side committed much worse acts of violence on the individual scale than the other. This does not pertain to the state level but if the roles were reversed… however let’s not talk hypotheticals.
Now if the invaders were a completely different culture I would be more inclined to believe all the horror stories. Another argument is that it’s always easier to commit atrocities on “others”. [/quote]

In my experience living in Russia and spending time in Ukraine, Ukrainians aren’t upset if you bring up their shared identity and history with Russians. In fact, that’s one of the reasons they’re so upset about the fact that Russia invaded their country.

Russians and Ukrainians know they have shared history and identity. I’m one of many people who are both Russian (St Petersburg) and Ukrainian (Odessa).[/quote]

Yeah...  UNTIL Russia illegally invaded them, shelled their schools and hospitals and homes, raped, murdered, tortured, looted them.  Now they want nothing to do with Russians.   Go back now and very few Ukrainians identify with or want anything to do with Russia.[/quote]
