There wasn't indeed. Just like there was no Germans, French nor any other nation. Nations didn't exist in Medieval time.

That's a big question what they want. Their media does generate such impression but does it reflect real attitudes of common folk?

All of them was known in the past only under name Russian (Rus, Rusnak, Ruthenian, Rusyn).

Russia and Byelorussia might cut a deal and unite, at some point in the future, but I don't see it happening. The Ukraine is shaken by civil strife, and we might see it ripped apart. If the Ukraine irreversibly fragments, then we might see the Crimea and Eastern Regions become permanently absorbed into Russia.

Considering the amount of Ukrainians studying in Poland(even in uni in which I study) many common Ukrainians look towards West

Belarusians are virtually identical to Russians and should unite. The more territory Russia can gain the better.

Should Ukraine Russia and Belarus be one country

most definitely, they belong together and they will unite again

Troll thread because from 17 million km2 fertile land should be enough for 140 million people. And they are distant enough. By the same logic they should be united with Lithuania because of Grand Duchy.

Yes, they should.

I could see Belarus joining for the sole fact that it's a much smaller population relative to Ukraine so no point really for them to stay separate if they could benefit by just joining Russia.

Ukrainians are much more numerous and have a hatred for Russians, so they're more likely to push genetic/ethno-cultural "divergence" from Russians.
