Russia and Ukraine are historically and culturally European. Russian expansion deep into Siberia is a relatively recent phenomenon. Sure, they're not Western European, but that's not what you said in your original comment.

Moscow and St. Petersburg - which make up a huge chunk of Russia economically, politically, and in terms of population - are very European historically and culturally.

But Russia is a gigantic country with a lot of population that isn't particularly European in any sense.

Ukraine on the other hand is basically 100% European any way you want to slice it beside Putin's revisionist history.
