There is absolutely nothing to suggest that Russia is interested in anything other than Ukraine. Everything else is just fear mongering, atleast Slovak media does that well.

Yeah, they have history of being truth-telling peaceful nation, always happy with what they have /s
What does ethnicity have to do with anything?

Nothing even hinted that Russia is interested expanding beyond Ukraine, and not even the whole of Ukraine. So like I've said, it's fear mongering by our politicians to keep people living in fear, it's getting to comical levels now, I get offers for psychological counseling at work due to the Ykrainey situation.

Russia is a nation, why are you taking offense on that statement? It is not an insult.

I mean, except Putin talking about how Ukraine is fake nation that should be part of Russia.

And the pre-written victory announcement state media recently published and then pulled back announcing the reformation of a single union of all the Russias (Belarus, “Greater” Russia [i.e., just plain Russia], and “Little” Russia [Ukraine]).

It very clearly is an insult against people because of their nationality but I discovered these days that online communities are a lot more accepting of such statements.

first full English transcript I could find: (the English language Kremlin site where it was hosted is nonresponsive, and most major media is just carrying excerpts.)

I can't open it.
Except the explicit words of the dictator of Russia.

There is nothing to contradict the view, that Putin doesn't want to restore the old Tsar or Soviet borders.

Which explicit words?
