P.S. About 25% of Israelis are Russian Jews. They speak Russian, they have learned in Russian schools etc. But at least they have Jewish roots. So ethically they are not Russians (in theory). You can't say the same about the Ukrainians. They are not different to us in any aspect, because they are as Russian as we are.
