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?

[-] volodymyr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He was, yes. He speaks perfectly now.

Yeah, most of my formerly russian-speaking friends are like that. Tl
