Ukrainians have a saying, "Якщо не з’їм, так понадкусюю."

It translates roughly as, "What I don't eat I'll take a bite out of." The implication is that if I can't eat everything, I'll take a bite of the rest so that no one else can eat it.

This is a saying they are proud of. They say it half in jest, but it still reveals their nature.

To cement it, here's a Russian anecdote:

A Russian, Ukrainian, and a jew are brought together.

First they ask the Russian: "What will you do with a kilogram of apples?" "I'll give them to my kids" "What about ten kilos?" "Wife and kids" "What about a wagon of apples?" "Relatives, wife, and kids"

Then they ask the jew: "What will you do with a kilogram of apples?" "Sell them!" "And with 10 kilos?" "Sell them!" "And with a wagon?" "Still sell them!"

And finally they ask the Ukrainian: "What will you do with a kilogram of apples?" "I'll eat them" "Ten kilos?" "I'll eat them" "A wagon apples?" "What I can, I'll eat, and what I can't, I'll take a bite of."

There are some jews in Ukraine, but not many. A lot of them left for Israel and other western countries. If you meet Russians or Ukrainians in US, be weary. A lot of them are jews.
