Russian and Ukrainian are similiar in many ways but they are far from being identical. Alphabet and Syntax are rather the same, but grammar is not. Ukrainian grammar is more simple and stands much nearer to other slavian languages than russian one does. Vocabulary also have many serious differences. With a surprise I found out that greater part of people in Russia can't follow fluent Ukrainian and the most of them don't get even written Ukrainian while people living in Ukraine in common know both languages because of historical conditions. You will not feel yourself more comfortable with one language if you know just the other. You have to study both of them separately otherwise you get no chance to express your thoughts. As for a non-native slavian speaker it makes the task even more difficult.

However... Those were right who said that understanding any of those two is just a matter of beeing used to. So, while Russian is more difficult and has greater amount of exclusions it can be more preferable to concentrate on studying it. In the other hand, Ukrainian makes more good for the success with other slavian languages.

Hi, a lot of my family members are either historians or somehow their job is related to it or they just study it for pleasure and curiosity. I see that member "gigant26" the person that wrote:

"Being a native of both Ukrainian and Russian, and also being an amateur linguist, let me explain a few things. First, Ukrainian did not develop directly from Russian or vice versa. Ukrainian developed from the language spoken in the Kievan Rus'. etc. "

is quite knowledgeable in both history and current events of Russians and Ukrainians. I AGREE WITH THIS MEMBER TOTALLY.... please be aware that most of what is now was created at some point in history. Everything that he said is correct, these languages ARE similar in several ways, i read all of the comments on this topic and i noticed that a lot of people are saying that the Russian and Ukrainian languages are not similar, wrong, *please don't take this personally* either you didn't notice the similarities, or are not so familiar with both/either languages or some other reason. I believe that not all people have it easy to learn a language.

However, just because you know Russian/Ukrainian doesn't mean you can easily understand Ukrainian/Russian. There are* similarities between these languages and you will* understand (not fluently) one of them, if you know the other fluently.
