Si ce n'est pas un fake, ça démontre bien qu'être russophone ne veut pas dire être ruSSe.
Il ne faut pas confondre la langue et la nationalité.
Les Irlandais ne sont pas Anglais.

@Enjomineur D3 Translated by #DeepL:

If it's not a fake, it just goes to show that being Russian-speaking doesn't mean being Russian-speaking. Language should not be confused with nationality. The Irish are not English.


Yes, true. We have many nationalities here in #Germany and many speak German but not all are Germans.

Maybe not but being Russian does not mean that you wish to live in Russia either. I did not meet anyone when I was in Ukraine that did not speak Russian although I do believe that in the South East they speak Hungarian. Historically, the Russian people evolved from the Kievan Rus so you find extreme difficulty finding someone in Ukraine without a Russian relative even if you are not faced with an ethnically Russian Ukrainian.

@Jamie Anyhow they speak there, the #Ukraine is divided now and therefor can be controlled easily.
in reply to Jamie

Sorry, I mean that in the South West they speak Hungarian.

Ça serait plus vraisemblablement le Nord-Ouest. La Russie s'est approprié le terme de "Russ", mais en réalité le Rus est l'origine commune de trois peuples, Ukrainiens, russes et biélorusses. Comme la langue latine s'est transformée en Italien, Français, Espagnol, Roumain..
On fabrique des mythes ou on romance l'histoire pour justifier des ideologie nationalistes. En réalité, seul compte la volonté des hommes de former ensemble un peuple, une nation.

It was actually the Vikings that coined the term "Kievan Rus" that led to "Rus" -> Russian -> Belarus (White Rus) etc. Ukraine is a mix of nationalities that our western propagands wish to paint as one people even though they were in total civil war when Russia became involved to support the ethnic Russians. The North West was part of Poland in the past and the South West was part of Hungary. Everything East of the Dniepr was part of Russia and Crimea has its own interesting history but most importantly the people that live there are predominately Russian. The most important part though is that the people of Ukraine have generally voted for pro Russian governments until the US funded coup in 2014. The county has many that feel differently as we all do. Do you think that all French people support Macron? What Russia did was wrong but we knew what we were doing and we were as bad.
