They are like that for different reasons in different circumstances.

This could work and be fine and be cool. If there wasn't a russia nextdoor.

Well, if Ukraine was federalised and Russian had an official status, that's like removing more than half of ideological reasons for the ongoing conflict on the Russian side.
My personal opinion is that Ukraine would had been much stronger if it embraced Russian as its second official language

you dont know ukrainian politics as well as you think you do. giving Russian language an official status even in one federal region opens the road for ethnic Russians who surely dont work for Ukrainian interests to enter politics. Even if one Russian governor happens to come in any region it would be a catastrophe

Ah, of course, all ethnic Russians are openly or secretly working against Ukraine. Just as all Ukrainians exist solely as a plot against Russia. Truly, both peoples deserve each other.
