A big difference between Russian and Ukrainian corruption is that in Russia, all the power ultimately filters up to Putin - the sole Russian Oligarch.
In Ukraine there are still many Oligarchs, in higher and lower positions of power - Ahkmedov & Kolomoiskiy (higher), Poroshenko, Tymoshenko, Yanukovich etc. (lower). In Russia, corruption is more organized at higher and lower levels as every politician and most businessmen are directly connected to Putin.
In Ukraine, political and business corruption is carried out by Oligarchs of varying degrees operating independently. My best guess is that because power has not been consolidated by any one person in Ukraine, corruption is less organized and therefore more rampant at lower levels than in Russia (at least for the big cities).
