The implementation of this imperial project without Ukraine and, first of all, Ukrainians, is impossible. There is no one in Russia to build the “Russian World”. According to Putin himself, Ukrainians are best suited for this role - culturally, mentally, etc. These builders cannot be the peoples of Asia and the Caucasus, who are far from Russia.
