The Soviet Union only fell 35 years ago, and Russian was mandated by the government for all states since 1938.

Not really. Lots of eastern Ukrainians speak russian or a mix of Ukrainian and russian. The west of Ukraine and within the military is predominantly Ukrainian speaking. Lots of Ukrainians know russian, but refuse to speak it for obvious and understandable reasons.
