Russia fought along Nazis to occupy eastern europe afterwards. It was not a liberator. As for Turks, it was Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth that stopped Turks by Vienna.

As for „most Ukrainians“, western Ukraine was not under Russian control till post WW2. Then there was Holodomor in the East. And there's a difference between ethnic Ukrainians and Ukraine citizens. Which is a tricky situation in Donbas and Crimea especially.

As for Lithuanian Vytautas, we're taking in Ruthenians running from Moscow rule for a loooong time. But modern Muscovy / Russia is not the same as Ruthenians.
