That is because the country is split down the middle between those who lean to the west and those who prefer the old days.
In reality, Russia only wants the use of the ports, as it guarantees the fleet can put to sea all year round. The remainder of the country interests the Kremlin little.

I've actually found Ukraine's current government to be pursuing a more independent course if anything. They took a few expected moves like turning away from NATO membership (although they do want to maintain engagement with them on some level) and even renewing the Russian Navy lease in Sevastopol. However, they also rejected Russia's proposal in which Gazprom would subsume their oil conglomerate and want to make economic pacts with the EU. They're taking a Serbia-like approach to the East-West issue I'd say.
