Baltics, who are not Slavs, let alone Fins who are not even Indo-European, are very different from Russians ethnically and linguistically. Also, they have some record of independent existence after WW1, which so called Ukraine doesn't.
Claiming that Ukraine is a country is more like claiming that Archangelsk or Novosibirsk is a country. Or CHAZ in Seattle.
Nonsense, it's more like claiming Wales is a country. The Welsh are Anglo-Celt, rather than Anglo-Saxon, and haven't been independent for, what, 800 years?
The Welsh are Celts. Angles are Germanic, so not Anglo-Celt. Those two are very far apart. Less far than Russia-Finland but more than Lithuania-Russia (Balto-Slavic is one group).
Angles and Saxons are both Germanic peoples. Anglo-Saxon is just their combination. And of course, Anglo-Saxon was a Germanic language and English today still is, despite its massive influx of French and Latin vocabulary.
And the Welsh don't have anything to do with the Angles.

The Welsh originate from the Celts and the Anglos; and the English are Anglo-Saxons (not Germanic).
The Angles are Germanic...
Alexa, play my favorite Anglo tune!
