No, they hate all the states that were under their influence and that later joined NATO and EU for leaving them in the dust.
Ukraine prospering would be too much for Putin, it would expose his crooked path that he steered Russia.
Russia would be way ahead of Poland had Putin not taken power and made Russia an mafia-oil state.
It was a Bush related joke. But regarding what you wrote, Ukraine prospering doesn't seem very likely, it's much more corrupt than even Russia. Their GDP per capita is a third of Russia's, despite also having a wealth of raw materials.
So that's not the issue. The Baltic states have prospered, and joined Nato for that matter.
The problem is that Ukraine is a huge country with a pretty large population, plus it has very deep historical ties with Russia, so it's probably a bit of that too, losing ones brother to the enemy would hurt.
