Are you sure that the domain is not google.com.ru? or something similar? In any case, it could be a plugin redirecting your traffic or an application on your device. Try looking into them and uninstall any applications you do not use. Let me know how it goes.

it was google.com\ua still giving me russian.

finnaly found the culprit: my vpn program, even if set to other countries, makes google go russian.

That is very weird. What VPN provider you are using? Do you have a paid or a free version? This will be very useful for people in the future surfing the problem.
