Cossacks are very special and proud people and they have the privilege to live at the verge of Circassian and Slavic culture hence their uniqueness originates

There are almost not as much Circassians left living together to make that kinda video.

Cossacks who settled in the Caucasus eventually adopted some of the native culture and clothing, hence the similarities.

We can see in this video that the original Ukrainian Cossacks didn't have any Caucasian influence, if we compare to the Kuban Cossacks who now wear the same robes adorned with ammunition on their chest which can be found in all native Caucasians.

Yes, but the Kuban Cossacks are the same Zaporozhye Cossacks who moved to the Caucasus in 18 century
