That's great, in my opinion, as most of the population speaks/understands both languages. It's common to see people speaking two languages without switching to one in conversation - the question comes in Ukrainian, the answer is in Russian.
But the main rule in writing Ukrainian -
you write as you hear. It's contrary in Russian, I guess you know that already
