All ethnic Russians are Slavs, yet not all Slavs are Russians.
Russians, along with Ukrainians and Belarussians, are all Eastern Slavs.
Eastern Slavs, along with the Western Slavs(Poles, Czechs, Slovaks) and the Southern Slavs (Serbians, Slovenes, Bosnians, Croats, Montenegrins, Bulgarians, Macedonian Slavs) are all Slavs.
NOTE: I only mentioned the SLacic groups that have their own nations, there are other Slavic peoples that from minorities in various places in Eastern Europe.
Russians felt a cultural and historical connection to the Slavic peoples and saw them as fellow Eastern Europeans. Defending the Slavs was believed to strengthen Russia's influence in the region and protect their perceived interests. Additionally, supporting fellow Slavic nations helped bolster Russia's identity as a defender of Slavic values and traditions.
Slavs are an ethnic group primarily from Eastern Europe, while Gypsies, also known as Romani people, are a distinct ethnic group with roots in South Asia who have spread across Europe. Slavs have their own unique languages, cultures, and histories, while the Romani people have their own language (Romani) and cultural traditions.
Linguistically? Same as between say Spaniards and Portuguese. Between Scottish and Irish. Or Germans and Dutch. Characterwise: Russians are soulful romantic people. They are also emotional, philosophic and and kind of poetic/melancholy. Communal culture. Generous. Open and friendly. Ukrainians are practical, not soulful, and capitalistic. More reserved, not much into poetry. The culture is individualistic. Not so generous. Minding their own business. Not wasting time on philosophizing/intellectualizing.

The three major divisions of Slavs in Eastern Europe are the West Slavs, East Slavs, and South Slavs. The West Slavs primarily include Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks. The East Slavs are represented by Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians. The South Slavs consist of groups such as Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Bulgarians, and Macedonians, each developing distinct languages and cultures over time.
Answer: the Slavic peoples are divided into three groups: eastern, western, and southern. The eastern group includes Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians. The western group includes Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks. The southern group includes Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks, Macedonians, and Bulgarians. Western Slavs, as well as Slovenes and Croats, are Roman Catholic while the other groups are Orthodox Christians. Bosniaks, however, are mostly Sunni Muslims. Another difference is that western Slavs, as well as Slovenes, Croats, and Bosniaks, use the Roman alphabet to write their respective languages while the other Slavic groups use the Cyrillic alphabet.
It is mainly the Slavs that range from Russians to Macedonians, but there is the Magyars (Hungarians).
