These people did resist foreign domination, but unfortunately were colonised. And all I was suggesting is that to some colonised people, surrendering is really an option, and they really want Ukraine to give up because freedom and independence is such foreign concept to them. Like for you perhaps.
And yes we in Bosnia were colonised perhaps only by the Ottomans. And it sucks to be colonised. But once you are integrated into an empire, and have the same rights and enough freedoms it kind of stops being colonialisaiton. Were Bosnians muslims colonial servants to Ottomans in 1700's? not really.
Colonialisation is palestine, its china, its Africa, when they take away your rights and put a sign in a Bejing park that says "no dogs or chinamen".
I dont know why you would want that misery upon the Ukranian people. They are fighting to be free in their own internationally recognised borders.
