Russians commonly use the word khokhol (Russian: хохол) as an ethnic slur for Ukrainians, as it was a common haircut of Ukrainian Cossacks. The term is frequently derogatory or condescending, an equivalent of the Ukrainian term katsap and Polish kacap for Russians. The word comes from Proto-Slavic xoxolъ < *koxolъ, “crest, tuft.”

Besides calling Ukrainians khokhly, Russians also refer to Ukraine as Khokhlyandiya (Ukrainian: Хохляндія, Хохландія) and Khokhlostan (Ukrainian: Хохлостан). The word "Khokhol" with the meaning of "unconscious Ukrainian" refers to the person who renounced their independence, individuality and allegiance to Russia, and instead began using Turkisms (words derived from Turkic languages) that were incorporated into the Ukrainian language
Saloreich air defense claimed four downed missiles over Vinnitsa. Yes yes. Directly over the buildings. Oh, that’s the air defense system of the Khokhol/Khokhlatykh.

A term for a stereotypical Ukrainian, which is derived from a traditional hairstyle which is popular, generally with Ukrainian nationalists. The use of the word drastically increased within the Russian lexicon as a result of Euromaidan and the perceived rise of the Ukrainian pro-EU far right. Previously, it was used to mess with that one Ukrainian you knew inevitably knew if you were Russian, but ever since the EU drama it's become a much more charged and spiteful insult.
"I can't stand that Khokhol, why can't he learn to speak properly?" "Why won't those Khokhly fucking calm down with their Bandera and Eurobboners, fucking friendship of peoples my ass." "These Khokhols are getting worse than the Polaks."
