A Belarusian wrote this on odnoklassniki [the Russian equivalent of classmates.com]. In my opinion, he nailed it:
I suddenly realized what Ukrainians remind me of. They are like BEES. Just like bees, they fly peacefully, work, collect pollen, produce honey, raise their young. [They] collect from one flower to another, and bring it home. So peaceful and passive.
[They] never touch anyone… Until you get into THEIR beehive to take THEIR belongings. From ploughmen, they turn into warriors. And everyone of them is a combat unit in itself. The more you attack them–the more they unite and protect their own.

Beautiful description of our Ukrainian people!
I have also noticed that many Russians hold it against Ukrainians that they mostly grow their own food, as if it’s something to be ashamed off. I live in a village and all my neighbours go to work during the day, then come home, throw dinner down their throats then out in their fields to keep the crops growing. Probably kill the Russians if they had to work that hard.
