Question: what is the difference between the russian and ukrainian languages?
Answer: Both of the alphabets consist of 33 letters; Russian has the letters Ёё, ъ, ы and Ээ, which are not used in Ukrainian. Instead, Ukrainian has Ґґ, Єє, Іі and Її. ... In Ukrainian, “И” is pronounced like a short [i], as in “kill” or “live.”
