You mean like the Ukrainians in Butcha or the many Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russians? It is that way that Russians were treated in Ukraine? I never heard about it, but perhaps RT has made a (pseudo-)documentary with paid actors out of it.
I have known few Russians, and in my experience, they often move to a new country with little intention to integrate (we had and have still parallel societies with Russians in Europe). It is also of no surprise to me that the Russians in the Baltic countries and Ukraine (and also in some other European countries) have little intention to learn the language of the country, which is driven by nationalism, dominance, and pride.
I don’t know. I can tell you about a quarter- century 17-18 years ago, I knew one Ukrainian and one Russian, personally. The young Ukrainian gentleman identified very firmly as Russian, the young Russian gentleman identified as Russian. Both were very well-mannered, kind, and integrated very well. I still think very fondly of both of them, and hope they have settled somewhere away from the current madness and are leading fulfilling lives. They are good people.
