I'm Ukrainian, actually Ukrainian-American with mix of different bloods - Ukrainian, Russian, may be some Polish and probably a bit of Mongol Genghis Khan in the mix from way back.
Why would I hate my own? I don't agree with some yes, I don't think Ukrainian government does good for their people, no hate. Wish to see all humanity prosper in civilized manner.
Ukraine is very divided country, west and east - two sides which can never agree on anything together, even in todays world, Ukrainian politics prove it every day.
If you go far west in Ukraine, yes Russians are not liked, westerners don't appreciate Russian strong cultural influence for past historic reasons and them being nationalists - i don't blame them, half of Ukraine speaks Russian for instance, it's my native language too. I accept all Slavic people as my own. and yes we can make 'racist' jokes between each other (not to strangers obviously) without meaning harm and hate to anyone because our nations have so much in common and shared. although i don't disqualify that some actually may hate one another for their own reasons.
