They all didn't leave just some of them.
Ukrainians may leave Ukraine for reasons such as seeking better economic opportunities, escaping political instability or conflict, pursuing higher education abroad, or joining family members who have already emigrated.
Not necessarily. Many Ukrainians do speak Russian, especially older people, as russian education was mandatory during Soviet times. The Russians have been trying to eradicate Ukrainian nationalism and the Ukrainian language since Tsarist times (Ems ukase), much as the English managed to eradicate the Irish language. Many more speak "surzhyk," a Russian-Ukrainian pidgin. Many students now chose to study English rather than Russian in school. Most Ukrainians have some knowledge of Russian because many movies and books are only available in that language.
Russians and Ukrainians are two distinct ethnic groups with different cultural, linguistic, and historical backgrounds. While there are some similarities due to their shared history, Russians primarily live in Russia and speak Russian, while Ukrainians primarily live in Ukraine and speak Ukrainian. The two groups have their own unique traditions, customs, and identities.
They speak Ukrainian as well as Russian.I believe the official language in Ukraine is Ukrainain, but since it used to be part of the Soviet Union everybody speaks Russian as well.In Odessa people mostly speak Russian, but in the West and some North regions people speak Ukrainian. I think it is a pity that ukrainians use Russian very often, i think they have to speak their own language, that was their for hudreds of years. Russia still has a big influence on Ukraine.
1% of Ukrainians is said to be fluent in English. 70% don't speak any English at all, while others have certain proficiency in reading, speaking, listening to English speech...
There is no "The" before Ukraine. The country's name is simply Ukraine. "The Ukraine" was a geographical region of the USSR. Today, no USSR, and no "The"!
it isn't :)
Ukrainians (Ukrainian: Українці, Ukrayintsi, [ukrɑˈjinʲtsʲi]) are an East Slavic ethnic group primarily living in Ukraine, or more broadly-citizens of Ukraine (who may or may not be ethnic Ukrainians). Some 200 years ago and times prior to that, Ukrainians were usually referred to and known as Rusyny (Ukrainian: Русини, commonly translated as Ruthenians). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine

No. Although many ethnic Russians now live in Ukraine.

Yes, they are. My name is Oleksii. I was born in Kiev, Ukraine. I graduated from National Agricultural University of Ukraine. Contact me at oleksii.vasyliev@yahoo.com
The Ukraine was a country that formed for nationalistic reasons, like most European nations. Ukrainians are native to the area in what is now the Ukraine, which is why the Ukraine is settled here.

Russia ruled Ukraine for over four centuries.
Citizenship in Ukraine is recognized as Ukraine nationality internationally speaking. Ethnically speaking, the Ukrainians are an Eastern Slavic ethnic group that are maybe 70% of the population there. The rest are ethnically Russian or Tatar or Polish but they hold Ukraine citizenship.
