Are you seriously connecting one murder (which is definitely a terrible thing) into a systemic oppression?
But if there's indeed an opression happening, now should be the perfect time to fight it not by complaining but by doing it legally with support from ombudsmen. Start a movement, but integrate it as a common fight, which it is.
That is some "logic". So Greeks were responsible for Mussolini because they are close to Italy?
Sorry, no. Back in the good old days everyone was fighting everyone and the Greeks also were happy to war and expand.
What we can talk about is the last give or take 200 years when the borders mostly settled and modernity started. This is where ruzzia (and a couple of other nice empires) were trying to fuck everyone else. For ruzzia it was starting with Japan, Korea and China over by the Asia and into Europe, wrapping with Finland.
Ukraine for ruzzia was always a problem exactly because of the so called similarity. The Rus started in Kyiv and it was a great shame for them. Ukrainians were supposed to be uneducated slaves, not founding fathers. That's why ruzzia systematically tried to destroy the culture, the language and the people.
Soviets inherited the approach and pootine has happily announced he's doing that too.
And that's what matters. Unless you would like to suggest that Greece should pay reparations to Egypt for occupying in Alexander's time.
Ukraine is not responsible for what USSR and Soviet empire before it did. If anything Ukraine was one of the victims of both.
For the other statements, a link or two would be nice, because otherwise it sounds like ruzzian propaganda. After all they invaded claiming poor rooskies were oppressed.
All that stuff was about to be burned, just not as quickly. On the other hand, a broken refinery cannot produce more, so the net result is likely an improvement for the (global) environment.
I would expect the smart ones would push and roll the car by hand.
There could be a talk about a buffer zone, say 200km inside Ruzzia, but that's it.
Ruzzia needs to fuck off and start paying reparations. Ukraine, and all neighbours, need to be ready because Ruzzia will attack again the moment they can.

I'm allergic to YouTube videos, so I'll rely on your text, instead.
I do believe it goes back to the Mongols where the Russian "ingenuity" was to embrace being slaves. They realised that at any moment the "guard" can come and take everything away.
Which means that stealing is not wrong.
And it also means that the best way of protecting yourself is by making the guard look at somebody else. Thus insatiable need for expansion.
Which is ironic since the guards left more than a millennium ago, but the system kept going.
It's fairly simple, actually. Both US and USSR were doing all they can to expand their sphere of influence. This, rather symmetrically, involved invasions, providing military "consultancy" and weapons, coups, etc. Both sides couldn't attack each other directly because of the atomic bombs, so they fought via proxies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_interventions_by_the_Soviet_Union
I'm sure there's a similar page about the states. The point is that neither side in the cold war was a good one. It was too bullies fighting for control.
And the ironic "just a moment..." preview of the link here
And they are
And given that those that are enough wounded to be discharged also can't really work as before, we're looking at something like 5-10% of the male workforce.
That's a lot a lot.
Well, it's complicated :) I believe the psychology defines several important phases in this regard (I'll wing them from the top of my head). First is the discovery of boundary me/not me for the newborns. That's when they realise their mom is not part of them. Then there's simple us/not us. That's when we're awkward about people outside our immediate family. Then there's the teenage rebellion phase, where we discover "my group" of people with similar interests. The "mom, it's not a phase" time. And the final, for the rest of one's life, is the phase of discovering "me as an individual".
So to your answer, yes, everybody feels they don't fit, but for many it's easier because they can use their social skills while some are "blessed" to figure out in hard mode.
