Except Ukrainian has a different alphabet than Russian.
Not at all. Ukrainian is basically Russian - Cyrillic - alphabet with 2 Latin characters (i and ї) inserted by the alphabet's creator Pantilemon Kulish to record particularities in the Galician dialect at the end of 1800s.
For graphical comparison see:

By that extension, write down particularities of Arkhangelsk speech, publish it as an "alphabet" and hey presto, you have country Arkhangelenia with nationality Arkhangelian. Neat, eh?
The following interview fragment is exceptionally telling:

(Grigori Krasovskij was born in Moscow in 1968, emigrated to USA in 1978 with his mother and grandmother (translator: I suspect by "the Jewish line" - the only way one could emigrate from USSR at that time), finished Columbian University, served in Police force of Florida, made a carrier as a lawyer. Moved back to Moscow. )
Quote
We arrived in Lugansk in early May 2014. We saw on TV what happened in Odessa, Slavyansk, Mariupol, Kramatorsk, and hoped that we still had time to visit relatives. My grandmother was 98 years old, my mother was 71. But after they were killed, this trip changed my life.
We watched the referendum (on the independence of Donbass - Ed.). I saw how people voluntarily and willingly went to vote. I saw the local guys who did not want nationalists to come bossing them. No "Russian occupiers" were there. Grandmother's lived on the southern outskirts of Lugansk, 150 meters from her house - the headquarters of border guards of the area. I went jogging there in the mornings and suddenly discovered that my smartphone's GPS was off-line. And that can only be done on the Pentagon's orders: they cut civil frequency, so that only military can use GPS for aiming. Later, I learned that at the outpost at the time there were several foreign experts, including one "American".
When I sent the request to Obama, I clearly knew that the actions of the Ukrainian military in Donbass, of the National Guard, of all of these battalions was supervised by US experts - from the CIA, the Pentagon and PMCs (private military companies - Ed.). I wish that the perpetrators are held accountable for everything that happened in Donbass. When they are killing women, children and the elderly - and not only by bombs and mines, but also hunger, lack of medicines, the blockade of issuing pensions - it is a crime against humanity.
I tried to appeal to the foreign media. But they told me that they were clearly warned - no articles on the subject. This applies even to the so-called opposition publications, such as "The Guardian." If you try to understand the conflict in Ukraine, you can learn more truth from the Russian media, than from CNN, BBC, Deutsche Welle and the rest. In America, more than 93% of the media is owned by five corporate groups, and behind them are the same financial investors, who control both the Democratic and the Republican parties. Therefore an average American will hear only what they want him to hear.
