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.

East Slavonic group, same as Russian, Belarusian and Rusyn. Which itself is a subfamily of the Slavonic family of languages. They are the three I just mentioned, as well as Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Czech, Polish, Slovakian and Bosnian. Ukraine is where Russia's history started. The Russian Empire was governed from Kiev which is now Ukraine's capital!
