A Ukrainian soldier named Serhiy, returning from Russian captivity, has reportedly been found mutilated with swastikas carved into his forehead, as disclosed by Dr. Olexandr Turkevich, who is treating him.

The soldier, blindfolded during the ordeal, claimed Russian soldiers threatened to dismember him, citing accusations of fascism.

That's not exactly true, we also watched Krtek and Nu Pogodi in out childhoods, and both nations are considered "glum" (as never smiling) and cynical (and the correlation between being educated and being cynical, sometimes to the point of dark humor), relatively recent urbanisation. Otherwise, yes, of course, things are different, there is almost as much common with Bulgaria or Croatia

I meant something in particular, what you mentioned are things that we have in common with many others. There's nothing except the language that really makes us part of a group which Russia is also part of.
