Russia doesn’t share your assumption that it is a foreign country. That assumption is rather limited to English propaganda, and Russia hasn’t invested much resources in countering institutional propaganda in the English world - they don’t need to fight a pointless war at that front.
I don’t care what Russia thinks. Pretty much the entire world agrees that Ukraine is a foreign country and if it weren’t I wonder why it let Ukraine have its own government and so on.
