On one hand NORAID/INAC say they support the ideals of 1916 and on the other agree with the GFA that rubber stamps British rule in the six counties.

Indeed the parallel is that Ukraine is the Cuba of Russia. The stuff about Russian speakers reminds me of the terror the DUP has for Irish going on road signs.
