It’s not and whole discussion about dialects and languages is pointless or even outright dumb.
This is not linguistically backed at all and is a fringe theory purported by one person. Ukrainian and Russian share a common linguistic root in Slavic but are separate languages. Ukrainian has its roots in old Kyivan Rus Vernacular and Russian was heavily influenced by Romance languages at a later point in time. There is no linguistic superiority in either language. Ukrainian is its own beautiful language and Russian is its own language just line Polish and Ukrainian. Lexical similarities don’t constitute a dialect.
Even if it is that is not an arguement to invade them.
