I live in a community with many Ukrainians. Fastest way to make an enemy there is to ask if they're "like Russians or something". I saw that happen once in a local restaurant...the flames shooting from the owner's eyes was a sight to see.
I cannot believe that there is a single one who would prefer staying under Russia's thumb over joining the EU.
OH, believe it. There are plenty.
The sense of unity with other Slavic countries, as opposed to the "West," is very strong.
But it's frightening and amazing, what happens to so many people when they get some power.
And not only "over there," and not only political power.
Yikes.
I mean, look at that toilet.
I guess the ones I know here fled the Soviet occupation of Ukraine so their perspective must be different. My husband was part Russian and tried the Slavic connection to make some acquaintances when we moved here...we didn't know a soul...but no dice. A few tolerated us because there's also some Polish blood, but most couldn't overcome him being Russki
