Nobody gives a shit about language, they speak mostly the language they grew up with.
From my experience, people do give a shit (once more, you do not want to speak the language of the country you are at war with, and even people whose native language is russian now make the effort to speak ukrainian), and authorities also for that matter ...for example, the Rada introduced a minimum 75 % quota for ukrainian-language shows on television, and a new law that requires the use of the state language (ukrainian) in state bodies and in public spheres of life, such as advertising, mass media, education, science, cultural activities, ect. Of course, the law does not apply to private communication, but nowadays with national pride at peak level (understandable for a country at war), it's politically correct to at least make the effort to speak ukrainian.
The lesser carachter trait of Ukrainians is being politically correct. Even "heroin" Nadia Savchenko recently said she would blow the balcony of Rada with grenades, blow up the ceiling with a mortar and kill the remaining MPs with automatic weapons. Not sure if she mean it, she might though. Who cares what Rada says. Next revolution in Ukraine will be pro russian. Hard times in the present and ahead for Poroshenko and croonies.
National pride at peak level? That is why the ones who can are fleeing.
