Close as in some different words but I think they can understand each other, at least I think that's what White-Ra mentioned once on his stream. Correct me if I'm wrong  It's not THAT similar. It's more like dutch-german. I speak both fluent russian and dutch so I'm not just guessing here. And the latest generation(s) don't speak ukranian anymore afaik. My parents don't even really speak ukranian and they're from '65 and educated in Kiev. | ||

Yeah that's basically what I said about younger generations not speaking ukrainian anymore. My parents speak both russian and ukrainian (and english obviously) but they only really learned ukrannian in school. From what I remember about my childhood there (I move to america when I was 7) it was mostly just the older people that knew ukrainian and my generation and probably the one before mine didn't. | ||

I'm from ukraine too, we moved to NL when I was 4, (I'm 21 now). My parents had ukranian in school but they always spoke russian with pretty much everyone. Now they hardly remember ukranian, they obv understand it more or less, but can't speak it. My grandparents do know ukranian. I also think there's a difference between big cities and small ones / villages. Cos always when people get interviewed on the news etc, if it's in a proper city they always speak russian, but if it's in some "farm"-ish area, they often don't. Not sure about that though. | ||
