I don’t know what that has to do with anything.

Also that is just not true. Looking at the Mongol culture, they don’t share religion, language roots, architecture, dances, hunting practice, literature, economy, sports etc. with Russia. However Ukraine—while distinct—has a lot in common.

Russia shares a tiny bit of history and some of the gene pool with the Mongols, however Russia shares a lot more of it’s history and much much more of its gene pool with Ukraine. And also the gene pool is a very unimportant—if any—part of shared heritage.
