People of Brest and all of South West Belarus are de facto ethnic Ukrainians. When USSR has stolen the territory from Poland in 1939, they didn't respect ethnic borders dividing the eastern part of Poland between Ukraine and Belarus - south of Pripyat river people always spoke Ukrainian. Even during the Nazi occupation, the territory was part of Reichskommissariat Ukraine.

so, I was right posting this:

I don't know, personally, I am strictly against imperialism... The fact is that Ukrainians have always lived in Kuban and Beresteyschyna.

80+% of them identify as Belarusians. As for the unique minority to it, they're western Poleshuks. Correspondingly, Jews in the very southwestern corner of the Brest region spoke a transitional Yiddish between Northeastern and Southeastern Yiddish, as Poleshuks speak a transitional language between Belarusian and Ukrainian. I doubt this is a coincidence. The natives of the region called themselves Litvins, while the Jews called themselves Litvaks(from the Polish word for Litvin). Given the peoples' self identification and the land's history in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it's much simpler to associate it with Belarus than with Ukraine. The Nazi argument is stupid. Are you willing to give up all the areas Nazis didn't include in Ukraine?

In case of Brest area people didn't know how to associate they called themselves "locals" so we don't know whether they were Ukrainians or Belarusians. Also Beresteychyna term exists only in Ukrainian Wikipedia even Belarusian one doesn't mention it. Also there are thousands of people with Polish ancestry

I am pretty sure nowadays 100% of them identify with Moscow and Russia, nash Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and so on. They are people without memory and history. Hopefully, Ukraine will not follow their fate and will stay as independent country. We don't need Brest and Krasnodar, but we remember history and our past.
