They've got Crimea and Eastern Ukraine in the wrong country.

Eastern Ukraine and Crimea speak more Russian than Ukrainian. Zelenskyy speaks Russian natively and was in the process of learning Ukrainian when he became president.

Ukrainians having had their culture nearly wiped out by the Soviet Union and now Russia is genocide.

They speak Russian because their culture has been targeted by Russia.
