There is actually more similarity between Ukrainian and Polish than there is between Ukrainian and Russian. In addition to that Poland lost a lot of peasants to the Ukranians in the middle ages that were mistreated by the Polish nobility. The western part of the Ukraine is a Polish/Ukrainian mix of people and linguistics.
Russians live in Russia, while Ukrainians live in Ukraine. While they share predominantly common ancestry, they use different languages, although the Russian language admittedly does sound like a dialect of the Ukrainian language ;-)
