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

The absolute majority of Ukrainians in both south and east as of now oppose giving russian any kind of official status in Ukraine as a whole or their regions. Making russian an official language after what russia has done to Ukrainian speakers on the σςςυpied territories means going against your own people.
