      I am ukrainian and I confirm.

      There are brotherly ties, relatives, but it’s not a healthy family, russians always thought they are the only ones that matter, the rest is deviation.

      Now it’s so much more clear, ukrainians who were russian speaking and mildly russian friendly now hate russia more than anyone, being bombarded does that, they feel betrayed.

        Got a Ukrainian family friend from the east side of Ukraine, spoke Russian as her primary language and knew some Ukrainian.

        Once the invasion started, she vowed to never speak Russian again and spent months trying to get fluent in Ukrainian.

          Wasn’t Zelensky (I probably misspelled that) also primarily russian speaking before he went into politics?

      I knew a Ukrainian in ~2016 who was SUPER into Russia. He and his family all spoke Russian more frequently than anything else and would talk about Russia all the time. I didn’t understand it, but kind of assumed it was the norm. The last couple of years have made me very curious about him

        Plenty of ukrainians speak russian at least sometimes. Even now. Freely. It is possible to speak russian in Ukraine more freely than to speak russian in totalitarian Russia.

        Some ukrainians liked russia, most of them stopped. Some might still do, but out of hundreds I know, from east and west, north and south, not a single one does.

      I had a weird coworker that claimed to be Ukrainian and is married to a Russian woman. Mysteriously had to go see his dying family member right before it all started and he has not been heard from again. I just feel like he was some kind of weird Russian spy or something. He would call her 10 times during his shift and spoke in Russian and had an air of manipulative “kindness” that made you really wonder what the fuck this guy was involved with.
