This is not true. Like literally factually incorrect.
Most people in big cities can speak russian due to russia's colonization strategy. But it's far from "most Ukrainians".
Saying this as Ukrainian citizen who has seen more Ukraine (both eastern and western parts) than just a few big cities.
It's true that Ukranian is more prevalent in western Ukraine, but that is a minority. Most people live in Kyiv, and prefer to speak Russian, including the current president of Ukraine. Or at least this was the case before the war started, and a huge chunk of population left the country.
Ukraine population before russian invasion of 2022 ~40M Kyiv population before russian invasion if 2022 <3M
> Most people live in Kyiv
This perfectly demonstrates your level of expertise and trustworthiness of your opinions.
Go home, and don't forget to buy some vodka in пятерочка.
after russian invasion many of those who preferred to speak russian swore off speaking russian. do you want to guess why ?
as other poster wrote, don't forget to collect your 15 rubel and buy some vodka on the way home
