All right. Please give me examples of Ukrainians (living in Ukraine) being in conflict with Russia. Over what?

Ukraine's problems are solely of Ukraine's making, do you want it or not.

For example over Ukrainian elections. Ukraine's independence is a thorn in Putin's Russia's flesh. Haven't you heard that Russian OMON (riot police) was ready for action during the "orange revolution"? Do you think that Russians reacted in that way (even if that story about OMON on the outskirts of Kiev was not quite true) without any reason? I can suspect everything about Moscow's governement, but not that they do not know where their strategic interests lie.

It depends on what you mean: in the short run: yes, it is true. But in the long run Ukraine's problems are the problems of all the post-soviet countries (that is that countries that had emancipated themselves from the Russian occupation)
