if you want to know the difference between countries just look at "all" their neighbours

borsht (beetroot soup) is seen as Ukrainian and also eaten through eastern europe, whereas okroshka and shchi (cabbage soup) is mainly russian and resemble dishes from asia. russians eat pelmeni (dumplings) which are very popular in asia and they have their own names for them.

russians prefer beef because some are muslim or border them whereas ukrainains prefer pork because there is no taboo behind it there so they got the name 'hohol'.
