Actually, as a side bar, I have heard that it is easier for a native Ukrainian speaker to understand Russian than vice-versa.
Anyway, Ukrainian and Russian are partially mutually intelligible, but Ukrainian and Belarusian are considered HIGHLY mutually intelligible, and Ukrainian and Polish largely so.
Do you even read some of your posts?
Russia originated in Ukraine. There is no Russia without Ukraine.
How clear can it be? But you will also deny water is clear.
Again…yes and no.
What “originated” there was destroyed by the Mongols. There isn’t a lot of continuity in that.
Russia as we now know it reformed around Moscow in the Middle Ages…peaked during the Russian Empire…and was, to a degree, reestablished by the Soviet Union…and then came CRASHING down as all of its oppressed/subjugated peoples (like the Ukrainians) broke free.
Here you go friends. Law recurrent way of arguing…twist the truth.
As far as language goes, this video sums up the difference between Russian and Ukrainian.
There goes 92010 again…twisting the truth to suit the narrative of his hero…regardless of whether it is morally right/justifiable…or even factual.
Anyway, that video will explain how the Russian language and Ukrainian languages split.
Both languages share a common ancestry (Old Church Slavonic), but the languages split and developed separately after the Mongol invasions.
Some dialects around the Grand Duchy of Moscovy became Russian.
Other dialects evolved in Ukrainian.
Just as Spanish and French share a common ancestor (and for that matter, so do Italian, Rhaeo-Romanic, Romanian, and Portugese), they are nonetheless NOT mutually intelligible and are distinct.
Mods know when another has to go to personal insults to fit their narrative.
You mean like this?
With that logic, can we take Germany and Japan back, they’d be awesome new states.
Mexico can take us back following the same logic.
Did Espana become independent from France in 1991?
Let’s do it.
Ukraine became independent of Russia on more than one occasion.
First in 1921…then Russia (Soviet Union) invaded and reconquered it in 1940.
And later in 1991.
Russia has tried again to reconquer Ukraine. Sadly, some are trying to help Russia win. Sad.
and the United States started, originated in Mexico…
Parts of it did.
Texas certainly did.
Then won its independence.
And then joined the USA.
Got a question for you.
Should France be able to invade Quebec or Louisiana under the theory that they controlled both at one time?
Did Quebec become independent from France in 1991?
The answer would be no. Any other questions?
Did Ukraine first become independent of Russia in 1991?
Hint: no.
Nice try though.
Are you going to clean up that post?
