Russian nationalism consideres Kiev the root of the russian culture (but they might change that narrative soon).
Also, they are really not happy about it.

Yet there is no war, shows you that NATO really works as a deterrence to Russia and that it had nothing to do with Ukraine being close to Russia and in NATO.
- RealityVoid 3y agoYes but then this very statement directly contradicts the "realpolitik" as pect so loudly touted earlier. It's not about pragmatism, it's a sort of nationalistic fervor!
