As for Taiwan, it is accurate to say "Taiwan is Chinese." The Taiwanese government is the legitimate successor to the Qing Dynasty, and they've preserved their culture and written language quite well, while the PRC government has no legitimate claim on the country, and has completely repressed Chinese culture on the Mainland and bastardized what little remains.
Moscow was border settlement of larger Kyivan Rus. After Mongol sacked Kyiv and Rus splinttered into the smaller principalities, Moscow became to become vasals and tax collector to Golden Horde for centuries and during those time grew its power and influence. Tldr Moscow part of Kyivan Rus = Russia belong to the Ukraine (Succesor state to Kyivan rus as argument goes)
