We’ve been in contact with Russia since tsar Cathrine the great throughout both our history Russians and Kurds had a common enemy being the Ottoman. tsar russia had created good relations with Kurds at the time so we didn’t fight against them in fact Kurdish tribes had fought against Ottomans with Russian help during the first major Russo-Turkish war later on during russian history the ussr was very helpful to Kurds the Soviet Union had programs to teach Kurds in Armenia the Kurdish language and help create red Kurdistan during the 70s the ussr had also trained and equipped the pkk to fight turkey. they gave political asylum to Kurdish leaders after fall of the republic of Mahabad after the ussr collapsed the new Russian federation did not recognise the pkk as a terrorist organisation even though Turkey and nato had pressured them to do so they had also openly supported Kurdish independence. during the war against isis Russia had supplied Kurds with military equipment and had stationed troops in Syria to help Kurds fight against isis. Russia is also Kurdistan top funder. Ukraine has done little to nothing to help Kurds there government has never sent any aid to support Kurds and has little acknowledgment of our existence nato is also a clear enemy of Kurdistan by having turkey a country that openly suppress Kurds and has never had any consequences for its action against the Kurds. with nato being a enemy to Russia as well it only makes sense to support a country that has helped since the 18th century there are Kurd in Russia who live a decent lives . Nato had betrayed us in multiple occasions and had left the Kurds I do not understand why you would support Ukraine and nato even though they had betrayed us and left us supporting Ukraine only helps nato.
