All ethnic Russians are Slavs, yet not all Slavs are Russians.

Russians, along with Ukrainians and Belarussians, are all Eastern Slavs.

Eastern Slavs, along with the Western Slavs(Poles, Czechs, Slovaks) and the Southern Slavs (Serbians, Slovenes, Bosnians, Croats, Montenegrins, Bulgarians, Macedonian Slavs) are all Slavs.

NOTE: I only mentioned the SLacic groups that have their own nations, there are other Slavic peoples that from minorities in various places in Eastern Europe.

Linguistically? Same as between say Spaniards and Portuguese. Between Scottish and Irish. Or Germans and Dutch. Characterwise: Russians are soulful romantic people. They are also emotional, philosophic and and kind of poetic/melancholy. Communal culture. Generous. Open and friendly. Ukrainians are practical, not soulful, and capitalistic. More reserved, not much into poetry. The culture is individualistic. Not so generous. Minding their own business. Not wasting time on philosophizing/intellectualizing.
