ideally I would want for Ukrainans and Russians to live peacefully and in harmony with one another, like they mostly did under the USSR

What if Ukrainians don’t want to live under the boot of Moscow though?

  I think Russia is a pretty oppressive nation.
  
  Here’s an article about a Russian who publicly opposed the invasion of Ukraine, leading to him getting a sentence of 25 years in prison.
  
  Here’s an article about Alexei Navalny, an opposition politician, getting a Russian intelligence officer to admit that the FSB (Russian government agency) poisoned Navalny. Why is the Russian state poisoning opposition politicians?

    Fair enough. I agree with the point you said before about wanting an outcome where Ukrainians and Russians can live peacefully. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is of course preventing that at the moment. I hope Russia withdraws their invasion of Ukraine as soon as possible but I guess that’s not likely to happen soon.
