I don't quite understand that, well I understand the thought, but I thought that the Russian "х" is voiced as well. So how can be the Ukrainian like "г" can be a voiced counterpart of "х". I mean they're both voiced.

And I don't claim that what I said is true. I may be deluded anyway. I'm just interested in that now.
