Is the word ruína the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No

While the spelling, grammar, and core meaning of "ruína" are identical in both dialects, there are differences in typical usage and pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, it is very common to use the singular "em ruína" to describe physical structures, and the word can colloquically refer to a "mess" or "disaster." In Continental Portuguese, there is a much stronger preference for the plural "em ruínas" when referring to physical remains. Additionally, the pronunciation differs: Brazilian Portuguese features more open vowels and distinct syllable articulation, whereas Continental Portuguese uses more closed or reduced vowels.
