Is Ukrainian really its own language?

Or is it just a Russian dialect larping to feel like a real country?

All east europe is a derivation of russian language... ukroids, polish, baltics, albanians, croatians, etc. No mater, all them a branch of russian civilization.

It's a full-fledged different language, but it's closer to Russian than Polish. Any more questions?

Belarusian (yes a minority speaks it), Ukrainian and Russian are highly mutually intelligible and knowing one you can understand others although more technical and literary language would need a few months of studying because of some very different words.

They (the creators of the "Ukrainian Language") traveled around the Southwestern border parts of Russia, looking for words that were as different from Russian as possible and recorded them in the so-called Ukrainian.

beyond stupid, its like saying dutch is a dialect of german. It can be derived from it but not saying its the same.

typical american.

It's like Spanish and Italian

Sounds oddly like the process of creating Nynorsk
