No, you were saved by a Soviet intervention, led at that time by a Ukrainian man, by ships mostly made by Ukrainians.
In 1971? I'm pretty sure it was the Soviet Union buddy, and Leonid Brezhnev was from Kamianske, Ukraine. As was a majority of Soviet cold war equipment.
I know that doesn't fit your political preferences and deep seated need to excuse genocide, but facts don't care about your feelings.
I am very much not comfortable with the fact that Russia is mass deporting Ukrainians and taking their children.
Not only has Russia not signed it, Russia is actively using chemical weapons right now, despite numerous treaties about it.
Russia also signed a treaty to leave Ukraine alone if it gave up it's nuclear weapons, and look how they are respecting it.
Oh boy. You really really need a course in history if you think all the parts were treated the same. It mattered a LOT.
Despite Russia's best efforts, and post cold-war propaganda, they really aren't. I think the continued fall from Soviet superpower into Russianpetro-olicharchy should be a big hint.
But, as with most people like you, it's protection all the way down
