The nobility in Norway was deeply connected to the Kievan Rus.

It is just that Russia and Belarus are taking a bit of a backseat in the mind of most people because they are either allowing it to happen or are the aggressor in the current conflict. You will therefore logically find that anyone not agreeing with what's going on in Ukraine automatically has more sympathy for the Ukrainians. That doesn’t take away from their shared history.

Everyone who's now in heaven is technically a saint. Saints are human beings who lived holy lives in obedience to God's will and are now in heaven for eternity.
