Aren't Russian and Ukrainian so similar that they're mutually intelligible except for a few things here and there?

It's a 60% lexical similarity rate (including writing scripts) . That's like equivalent to the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese...

Oh darn I thought it was higher, but I guess a lot of Ukrainians are bilingual too

Yeah, I suppose that, especially in the Donbass, Luhansk, et Crimea regions...
