Ukrainian is an East Slavic language, closely related to Russian and Belarusian, but with its own distinct grammar, vocabulary, and literary tradition. Emerging from the Kievan Rus’ (9th-13th centuries), it evolved from Old East Slavic, and became a powerful symbol of national identity over time. Despite centuries of foreign rule, including Russian and Polish dominance, the Ukrainian language survived and thrived as a key marker of cultural independence. In the 20th century, Ukrainian saw a significant revival, especially after Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Today, it is the official language of Ukraine and is spoken by millions. While the war with Russia has intensified the importance of Ukrainian as a symbol of national unity, it is also a reminder of the resilience of language as an anchor for cultural identity.
Today, Polish remains a crucial part of Poland’s culture, spoken by over 45 million people, and it continues to evolve, maintaining its place as a strong cultural marker in Europe
Ukrainian culture is a rich blend of folk traditions, art, and music that reflects both the country’s historical struggles and its vibrant national spirit. From the iconic vyshyvanka (embroidered shirts) to the lively hopak dance, Ukrainian culture expresses themes of freedom, strength, and connection to the land. Ukrainian cuisine, like borscht and varenyky (dumplings), is hearty and deeply tied to agricultural traditions.
At the heart of Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russian aggression lies the word sobornost, meaning unity or togetherness. It represents the collective strength and solidarity that have fueled the resilience of the Ukrainian people. Despite the hardship of war—during which over 6 million Ukrainians have been displaced—sobornost has become a powerful force, not just in defense of the nation but also in preserving cultural identity.
Through art, music, and national celebrations, the Ukrainian people continue to honor their heritage, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to sovereignty and freedom.
Across the industry, Ukrainian interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.
Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.
We get this question a lot.
Ukrainian interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Ukrainian into English and English into Ukrainian). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.
Ukrainian translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.
