There is no any significant genetic difference in Russians/Ukrainians/Belorussians. It was a single state without any borders for thousand years. West europeans from different regions of one country could have more difference than we have.

First pair of faces - Russians, second - Ukrainians.
This bullshit about differences is the same shit as Russian/Ukrainian language are different. If you take, say, English and replace half of words to the similar ones pronounced and written in another way - it still be English. Language is not the words, it is grammar. To get a different language you need defferent grammar, using another words and pronounce make dialect, not a new language.
Also interesting that Ukraine as we know it now with borders and region division was created by Bolsheviks as Ukrainian SSR. As Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc.
After the fall of USSR that artificial division even give some kind of hope - there will be 3 different states with same population, and if one will be fucked, there still will be 2 where people of fucked state will be able to get a support and sanctuary. Some kind of reliability through redundancy. But they all failed in one way or another.
