It doesn't get mentioned because everyone wants to blame Gengis
and the Mongols, but the MAIN difference between Russian and
Ukrainian was an affliction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire:
Ukraine was controlled by Vienna, Russia by Moscow.
And it seems to me that the guys who settled WW2 understood the
importance of making (a shrunken) Austria a Neutral and Independant
buffer zone.
Making Peace in Ukraine, and turning it into a decent place to live,
should be as easy as Austro-sizing Ukraine, not ostracizing Russia.
