Cossacks are not just found in Ukraine.
Cossacks are a diffuse confederation of Slavic peoples found throughout the Eurasian steppes of eastern Ukraine, southern Russia, Caucasus, Kazakhstan.
Have you actually ever been to Ukraine or Russia?
Have you ever actually taken a college level class in Slavic studies, or read any of the classic Ukrainian and Russian literature?
It literally takes years of specialized university training to become an expert on the cultural, religious, and political history of the lands of the former imperial Russian Empire. I claim no scholarly expertise, but know enough to realize that ethnic caricature is the province of the uniformed and willfully bigoted.
I'm fairly well versed in the Slavic peoples.
Did you ever hear of Nestor Chronicler?
He stated Russian ethnography was largely Finnic & Baltic.
Although I think a lot of Russia has assimilated real true Slavic Poles & Ruthenians.
After all The Vladimir Suzdal & Dutchy of Moscow mark the forebears of Russia.
Truth maybe that 90% of Russia is not even Really Russian ethnicity.
