Is there a recommended online Ukrainian-Ukrainian dictionary for native Ukrainian speakers, where I can write a word and get interpretation or definition in Ukrainian language? (Such as Cambridge dictionary for English for example).

This type of dictionaries is called тлумачний словник (explanatory dictionary).
Try these ones, they are similar to Cambridge dictionary:
- http://sum.in.ua
- https://www.slovnyk.ua/index.php
- this Meta post contains a broad list of online sources including the explanatory dictionaries.

6Both specified links (http://sum.in.ua and https://www.slovnyk.ua/index.php) actually refer to the same dictionary — Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language in 11 volumes by Potebnia Institute of Linguistics (issued in 1970–1980), which is accessible through many different websites nowadays.– Sasha ♦Apr 4, 2018 at 15:50
Famous, official & the fullest, most people give credit to it:
Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language (DUL)
- in 11 volumes, 1970—1980 by Potebnia Institute of Linguistics;
- a newer one from 2010 in 20 volumes (an alternative site) by Ukrainian Lingua-Information Fund (where as for now only 10 volumes are outed) covers only А—Обміль letters.
The others:
- sum.in.ua as DUL-11 also includes small Modern Online Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language from 2013—2018.
- slovopedia.org.ua includes many Ukrainian—Ukrainian dictionaries;
- ukrlit.org has DUL-11, and Signs of Ukrainian Ethnoculture by Vitalij Žajvoronok.
A site like slovnyk.ua is taking the source from DUL-11.
You can also see other dictionaries on our Meta here.
