    Settler colonialism is not about race

    Have you ever noticed America being very white and not very native American?

    How about Australia?

    Apartheid South Africa?

    Russians do their settlement another way because they are imperialistically and national chauvinistically motivated.

    There’s Russian colonization of Crimea but the goal of Russia is to annex Ukraine and forcibly assimilate its population. Not to wipe out or expell all Ukrainians.
