To address a potential question on how "difficult" it might be to discern the two languages, I would like to say that around every third word contains a character simply not present in Russian: і and also ї, є, ґ, '.
Also, it is possible that these websites somehow set their metadata incorrectly.

I can't load the third one (it weirdly redirects to https://hsc.gov.ua/google.com after a while), but the first two declare themselves to have content in Russian
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xml:lang="ru-ru" lang="ru-ru">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="ru">

Bug 1859081 has discussions about doing language detection even if a lang tag is declared, not sure if the team wants to dupe this type of bugs against that.

(In reply to Francesco Lodolo [:flod] from comment #2)
I can't load the third one (it weirdly redirects to
https://hsc.gov.ua/google.comafter a while), but the first two declare themselves to have content in Russian<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xml:lang="ru-ru" lang="ru-ru"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="ru">
Thanks a lot for this finding! I see a similar thing on the third website.
Firefox behaviour is not unexpected then.
