Germans do distinguish between Prussian Germans and Bavarian Germans. Nevertheless it's the same country.

Various types of Germans also did have a large number of wars agains one another.

Russian position is indeed that Ukrainian claims on the statehood in 1991 or even 2014 borders are absolutely bogus.

Personally, I also find it hard to respect the immutability of international borders that are younger than I am.
