Kiev in modern day ukraine is where russian nation was born. First russian empire in history was kievan rus. But after mongol invasion , russians changed their capital into moscow.
Meanwhile Poland invaded where modern day ukraine is so people there was much more influenced by western and european culture compared to their counterparts in moscow despite sharing same ancestors and history with them.
Ukrainians identify themselves more with west and Europe meanwhile russians has an euroasia centric policy.
Also lots of russians settled in eastern ukraine back in the day. Those people today speaks russian , not ukranian and idenfity themselves as russians rather than ukranian so they want to join russia which causes ethnic tension between them.

Russians hate ukraine because they perceive modern day ukraine as their own ancestoral land due to their kievan rus heritage.
They also dont like the fact that ukraine wants to join nato , russia is not happy with nato expansionism.
Ukrainians hate russians
due russian govermenrs claims in their lands and ethnic russian minority living in east side of their country who wants to join russia.

They are similar but not the same. You have to remember that Ukraine has been historically divided between Poland (West) and Russia (East). They differ quite much. The ones in the West speak more Ukrainian, the ones in the East speak more Russian. Also in the West they have some words from Polish language. In theory they are similar - the same religion, similar language (a lot of Ukrainians speak Russian as first language actually) but if you told some Ukrainian he's Russian, you'd really got hit in face (even before today).

I personally don't see any cultural difference between them. they are considered siblings. their languages, nationalities, everything else is almost exactly the same.

The main cultural division is that the Western Ukrainians are Roman Catholic and the eastern Ukrainians are Orthodox. Those in the east are much more apt to be pro-Russian than those in the west. It is a poorly constructed country, as were many of the old Soviet republics.

There are some minor language differences, but Ukrainians and Russians share a common history. For many years, during the USSR, Ukraine was a part of Russia.

A simple Google sorts this.

Also you had to ask this Anon?
Pathetic

The shitty situation and depressing nature if Ukraine is a direct result of the USSR. Russia's shitty situation and depressing nature is their own fault.

Ukrainians are for peace.
Russian leaders are for pieces- a piece of this country, a piece of that country.

The Russians fight until they're dead. That's about it.

They are mostly the same same people.

It is not certain that the Google information is correct. If you are Ukrainian, I would like to learn from you.

I'm not your encyclopedia, learn stuff on your own.
