    Idk but I believe the pretext was ethnically “Russian” people living in Ukrainian territories. It is true that the two countries share a great deal of ethnic heritage. The Rus people were from Kyiv.

      No it was nothing of the kind. He claimed Ukrainians were basically Russian, that is not about Russian minorities.
